Regenerative endodontics is the generation and replacement of diseased, damaged or absent pulp. This issue of Dental Clinics of North America provides a clinical view of regenerative endodontics and its aims, methods and techniques.
This richly illustrated book combines explanation of the scientific base underpinning vital pulp treatment with description of current and emerging trends in clinical practice. It guides the reader through modern views on pulp diagnostics, deep caries, and pulp exposure management, leading to an analysis of the biological aspects of regenerative techniques such as angiogenesis, neurogenesis, inflammation, and epigenetics. In the later chapters, practical considerations relating to bioengineering, biomaterial choice, revitalization, and stem cell-based procedures are discussed and their likely therapeutic impact considered. Aimed at dental students, postgraduates, and research-minded dental practitioners, this translational book summarizes state-of-the-art scientific knowledge on dentin–pulp interactions and regenerative endodontics, while highlighting the opportunities to incorporate recent developments into everyday practice. Readers will also find extensive discussion of potential future developments and research avenues relating to each aspect of this exciting and rapidly developing field.
This book provides evidence-based information in the field of regenerative dentistry discussing the most recent advances, current clinical applications, limitations and future directions. The coverage encompasses the regeneration of alveolar bone, the dentine-pulp complex, enamel, the periodontium and other tissues associated with the oral cavity. A full description is provided of regenerative approaches in dentistry including regenerative endodontics and tooth repair, regenerative periodontics, regenerative assisted orthodontics, regenerative approaches in oral medicine, and dental tissue derived stem cells and their potential applications. The book is written by an international team of leading experts. It will be beneficial for students, practitioners and researchers in the fields of endodontics, periodontics and implantology.
