Abstract
The regeneration or replacement of oral tissues affected by inherited disorders, trauma, and neoplastic or infectious diseases is expected to solve many dental problems. Within the next 25 years, unparalleled advances in dentistry and endodontics are set to take place, with the availability of artificial teeth, bone, organs, and oral tissues; as well as the ability to stimulate endodontic regeneration , replace diseased tissues produce vaccinations against viruses , and genetically alter disease pathogens to help eradicate caries and periodontitis. Regenerative endodontic procedures can be defined as biologically based proce- dures designed to replace damaged structures, including dentin and root structures, as well as cells of the pulp-dentin complex. The objectives of regenerative endodontic procedures are to regenerate pulp-like tissue, ideally, the pulp-dentin complex; regenerate damaged coronal dentin, such as following a carious exposure; and regenerate resorbed root, cervical or apical dentin.
