Abstract

A remarkable shift in paradigm is seen with the treatment of pulp therapy procedures from conventional to regenerative ones since 10-15 years in the field of pediatric endodontics. Though conventional treatment techniques provide excellent success for many conditions, an ideal form of therapy might consist of regenerative approaches in which diseased or necrotic pulp tissues are removed and replaced with healthy pulp tissue. Regenerative pulp procedure is the creation and delivery of tissues to replace diseased, missing, and traumatized pulp. This review provides an overview on the biology of dental pulp tissue and regenerative pulp procedures like stem cells therapy, scaffolds, injectable delivery systems, pulp implantation, gene therapy, revascularization and tissue engineering including their goals and describe possible techniques that will allow this to become a reality.
