Regenerative Endodontics -Present Practice to Promising Prospects: A Literature Review
Journal Title: Journal of Dental Health and Oral Research - Year 2024, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Regenerative endodontics is an innovative field within dentistry that aims to restore damaged dental pulp using stem cells, tissue engineering techniques and biocompatible materials. This article provides an overview of the current trends in regenerative endodontics, highlighting recent research findings. Stem cells obtained from different sources like dental pulp, bone marrow and adipose tissue possess the ability to differentiate into cells similar to dental pulp and facilitate the regeneration of tissues. The use of biocompatible substances, such as Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) biodentine, offers an ideal setting for tissue growth and healing. Dental scaffolds, made from biodegradable materials, support the development of new blood vessels, nerve fibers and dental pulp-like tissues. Growth factors, like PDGF and TGF-β, are incredibly important in stimulating cell growth and specialization. Researchers and clinical trials are currently working on improving regenerative endodontic procedures, with promising results seen in terms of pulp regeneration and root development. By embracing these trends, dental professionals can offer innovative solutions for restoring damaged dental pulp and preserving natural teeth. The present article, is an overview of regenerative endodontics, exploring the current trends that are shaping the future of this field.
