Abstract

Dental caries is responsive to prevention and management at both the individual and population levels. It is also readily treatable through conventional surgical interventions and dental restorations. Pediatric dentists have a critical role in preventing and reducing the severity of dental caries at an early age. Preventive approach for caries management has been progressively acknowledged as a significant element in reducing the prevalence and severity of dental caries. The present review focuses on this panacea of caries management with preventive strategies in light of recent developments.

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.
