Prognosis of Regenerative Endodontic Procedures in Mature Teeth: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Clinical and Radiographic Parameters

This work aimed to investigate the use of Regenerative Endodontic Procedures (REP) on the treatment of pulp necrosis in mature teeth through systematic review and meta-analysis of evidence on clinical and radiographic parameters before and after REP. A search was performed in different databases on...

description This work aimed to investigate the use of Regenerative Endodontic Procedures (REP) on the treatment of pulp necrosis in mature teeth through systematic review and meta-analysis of evidence on clinical and radiographic parameters before and after REP. A search was performed in different databases on 9 September 2020, including seven clinical studies and randomized controlled trials (RCT). The methodological quality was assessed using Revised Cochrane risk-of-bias (RoB 2) and Before-and-After tools. Meta-analyses were performed to evaluate the success incidences regarding the reduction of periapical lesion and recovery of sensitivity. The certainty of the evidence was assessed using GRADE. Meta-analysis showed a high overall success of 0.95 (0.92, 0.98) I<sup>2</sup> = 6%, with high periapical lesion reduction at 12 months (0.93 (0.86, 0.96) I<sup>2</sup> = 37%) and by the end of follow-up (0.91 (0.83, 0.96) I<sup>2</sup> = 13%). Lower incidences of positive sensitivity response were identified for the electrical (0.58 (0.46, 0.70) I<sup>2</sup> = 51%) and cold tests (0.70 (0.54, 0.84) I<sup>2</sup> = 68%). The calculated levels of REP success were similar to those reported for immature teeth. With a very low certainty of evidence, the meta-analysis showed a high incidence of REP’s success for mature teeth with necrotic pulp evidenced by periapical lesion reduction and moderate positive responses to sensitivity tests.
