Application of regenerative endodontic techniques in injured devital permanent front teeth with incomplete root development in children and adolescents

Abstract

This article provides a systematic review of studies on a new biological treatment method called regenerative endodontic technique. Databases of Scopus, Web of Science, and MedLine were searched for relevant studies. Dental trauma most common occurs in children and the most common cause of the loss of viability of the pulp of permanent teeth with incomplete root development. Treatment of these teeth takes time and technically complex. Thus, a technique was proposed that could use the potential of apical papilla stem cells, leading to the refilling of the root canal with vital tissue through the regenerative endodontic technique. It is necessary to pay due attention to the use of regenerative endodontic techniques, especially in cases where the root development is incomplete. The use of mineral trioxide aggregate is unlikely to improve the condition of the tooth.
