Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, Regenerative Endodontics has undergone remarkable progress, supported by a deeper understanding of the biological processes underlying pulp-dentin complex regeneration and by advances in biomaterials, scaffolds, and stem cell biology.
The concept of biologically based endodontic treatment has evolved from traditional disinfection and obturation procedures toward minimally invasive approaches aimed at maintaining pulp vitality and promoting tissue repair or regeneration, whenever possible.
Within this scope, Vital Pulp Treatment has gained increasing attention as a biologically sound and clinically viable approach for the treatment of pulpitis, aimed at preserving reversibly affected tissue from the dentin-pulp complex and providing a favourable medium for its repair.
Moreover, ongoing developments in tissue engineering, growth factor delivery systems, and bioactive materials have expanded the potential for the Regenerative Endodontic Treatment of immature permanent teeth with pulp necrosis, offering new perspectives for both clinical practice and research.
The aim of this Special Issue is to provide an updated overview of the latest evidence and innovations in regenerative endodontics, highlighting how biologically based approaches are reshaping the future of dental tissue preservation and regeneration.
