Renaissance of the tooth fairy!!!

Abstract

Regenerative endodontic procedures have brought novelty in the arena of dentistry. Stem cell research has paved its way into conserving and utilizing the multipotent stem cells for tissue growth. One such procedure is revascularization which utilizes the apical stem cells for root lengthening and reinforcement in traumatized tooth with an open apex. The present clinical case report has shown that revascularization results in successful root lengthening and apical closure in lesser appointments than conventional specification procedure without weakening the dentinal walls.

Evaluation of the Effect of Intra-Coronal Bleaching after Using C-Phycocyanin as a Photosensitizing Agent- In vitro Study.

“…Anterior extracted permanent human teeth (n=51) with mature apices were used for this experimental in vitro study. Each tooth was immersed in NaOCl (5.25%) for two hours to be disinfected then stored in saline until use (6) .…”

“…Local factors could be due to endodontic materials and coronal filling materials (4) . Bleaching of discoloured teeth is one of the promising approaches to putting an end to this problem as it is considered a minimally invasive procedure (5)(6)(7) .…”
