Filling Root Canals with nerves

Description

â?¢ Various methods and different materials have been suggested to deal with teeth having immature apices and necrotic pulp. Except of the biologically based treatment modalities in other treatment approaches root length and root dentin thickness remain unchanged and consequently such teeth are susceptible to root fracture. â?¢ The aim of Regenerative Endodontics Procedures (REPs) as a biologically based treatment is to replace the irreversibly inflamed pulp tissue with newly regenerated tissue in an attempt to stimulate root maturation (Murray et al. 2007). â?¢ In this presentation the clinical consideration of REPs by emphasizing on the clinical outcome will be updated and the recent published evidence about REPs will be critically appraised.
