Abstract
Modern developments in endodontics have significantly increased the effectiveness and success rate of dental treatments. The introduction of bioactive hydraulic calcium silicate cements (HCSCs), with improvement in technical and biological advancements in wound lavage and tissue handling are just a few of the developments that have fundamentally altered our thinking and revitalized the vital pulp therapy field.
Regenerative endodontics is biologically based treatments intended to functionally replace injured tooth structures, such as the pulp-dentin complex, dentin, and root structures. Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) have been established as a possible source of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which aid in regenerative procedures. The EMD (Emdogain) which has a potential in enhancing pulp tissue repair and odontogenesis, has mostly been utilized in endodontics as an adjuvant to enhance regeneration techniques.
