Topic: Conservative vs regenerative endodontics – from animal studies to clinical trials

Abstract

Regenerative endodontics emerged more than ten years ago. Because it is a new science, much confusion has come along with it. As of today, based on all the available data published, we have not been practicing “regenerative endodontics”.  Therefore, the term “regenerative endodontics” should be changed and better defined.  This presentation will clarify what “regenerative endodontics” should really represent. The current so-called “revitalization” treatment should be categorized as “conservative endodontics”. The “revascularization” term should no longer be used and only to represent trauma avulsion cases after replantation. On the other hand, stem-cell based therapy research has shown convincing data suggesting potential practice of true “regenerative endodontics” in the future. This presentation will provide an updated review on the rapid progress of stem-cell based “regenerative endodontics” research from small animal studies to large animal validation and eventually to human clinical trials. The potential of “conservative endodontics” to one day reaching “regenerative endodontics” will be analyzed and discussed.

Learning objectives

At conclusion, participants should be able to:

  1. Describe the definition of “conservative endodontics.”
  2. Describe the definition of “regenerative endodontics.”
  3. Describe the progress of “regenerative endodontics” in humans.
