<p>Regenerative Endodontics: Part 2<br>Lieutenant Commander Nancy H. Osborne, DC, USN and Captain Patricia A. Tordik, DC, USN<br><br>Introduction<br>Regenerative endodontic procedures are biologically based and designed to replace damaged dentin, root and cells of the pulp-dentin complex. This encompasses simple blood clot revascularization to the complex, emerging field of tissue-engineered pulp. The goal is to regenerate pulp and dentin, restore function, foster root development and prevent or resolve apical periodontitis. The aim of this clinical update is to review current clinical procedures for managing diseased or traumatized pulps of permanent teeth with immature root apices and discuss implanting engineered pulp into cleaned and shaped root canals. “Growing teeth” is beyond the scope of this paper and can be addressed in a future clinical update.
