The procedure has been used in necrotic teeth, traumatized teeth with external root resorption, teeth that face persistent apical periodontitis, and more. It has also been commonly used in immature teeth requiring root canals.

What is the primary goal of regenerative endodontic procedures?

The overall goal of this advanced procedure is to regenerate the tissues of the dentin-pulp area of the tooth so that it can function normally. 

Can roots regrow? 

Believe it or not, root regeneration is possible - as long as it has the right balanced setting to do so. It is definitely something to pay attention to in the future. 

Who is a good candidate for regenerative endodontics?

It is up to the endodontist to make the determination whether or not you are a candidate for the procedure. Typically, children and adolescents make great candidates. Also, those who have recently dealt with a lot of decay and infection resulting in a root canal treatment.  

How is regenerative endodontics different from a root canal? 

A root canal is about removing the pulp along with the infection and decay and then filling the pulp chamber with a material of some sort. Regeneration involves placing live tissues in the place of the pulp.
