Exploring Regenerative Endodontics: Pulp Revascularization as an Alternative to Root Canal Therapy

Samenvatting

Regenerative endodontics is a promising field that seeks to revitalize damaged dental pulp tissue, offering a potential alternative to traditional root canal therapy. This innovative approach leverages the body's natural healing abilities to stimulate the regeneration of pulp-dentin complex. By employing various biological materials and techniques, such as growth factors and stem cell therapy, clinicians aim to promote tissue repair and restore tooth vitality. This review article explores the current state of knowledge regarding regenerative endodontics, focusing on pulp revascularization as a key strategy. We delve into the underlying biological principles, clinical applications, and potential limitations of this emerging treatment modality. Additionally, we discuss the future directions and challenges in the field of regenerative endodontics, highlighting the need for further research to optimize clinical outcomes and expand its applicability.
