| Summary: | Withing the last 10 years, the research regarding
stem cell biology and tissue engineering has reaped many rewards in the field
of dentistry. The goal of regenerative endodontic therapy is the regeneration
of a healthy and functional pulp-dentin complex. With the development of
successful materials such as mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and the use of
the concept of tissue engineering, treating necrotic immature permanent teeth
and stimulating the continuation of root-surrounding tissue formation has been
made possible. Current stem cell research has also shown promising results and
continues to show progress in the regeneration of dental and surrounding
tissue. Since the ethical aspect of the use of stem cells is still in question,
we have yet to see the potential of these materials in clinical practice. In
this review, regenerative endodontic treatment prodedures, materials and
developments are discussed in detail. |
