Regenerative endodontics
Regenerative endodontic therapy is a biologically based procedure designed to replace damaged structures, including dentin and root structures, as well as cells of the pulp.
This procedure is especially useful in teeth with infected pulps and thin short roots that are still developing ( immature). The optimal goal is to assist the tooth to continue root development
The procedure often involves a two- or multi-step procedure. The first appointment is centered on proper access and disinfection of the pulp space. Upon confirming the absence of clinical signs and symptoms, the second appointment focuses on removing the antimicrobial medicament, releasing growth factors from the dentin and delivering stem cells into the root canal by stimulating bleeding then sealing the tooth by placing a pulp space barrier and permanent coronal restoration to prevent bacterial reinfection
