CE Hours: 1.5

Description: Regenerative endodontics has been recognized as a unique protocol in the practitioner's armamentarium to harness the regenerative potential of periapical tissues, facilitating continued root development and regeneration of the dentin-pulp complex, particularly in immature necrotic teeth. Preclinical and clinical research have significantly enhanced our understanding of the key factors contributing to success and failure. In this presentation, we will share the most recent data and protocols for regenerative endodontics, as well as emerging tissue engineering technologies aimed at regenerating lost tissues. Dr. Botero will discuss the clinical rationale and protocols in regenerative endodontics, along with clinical evidence, outcomes, and limitations of these protocols. Dr. Bottino will then explore the current status and clinical potential of tissue engineering in endodontics, including applications in regenerative endodontics and vital pulp therapy, ongoing materials and technologies, preclinical and translational research, as well as barriers and opportunities.

Learning Objectives:  

  • Describe the fundamental principles and clinical protocols of regenerative endodontic procedures (REP), with emphasis on the latest evidence and outcomes and identify and analyze the clinical factors that influence the success and limitations of REP, including practical considerations for implementation and follow-up.
  • Compare and contrast conventional REP with modern tissue engineering technologies in terms of clinical potential, translational hurdles, and future impact on patient care.
  • Compare and contrast conventional REP with modern tissue engineering technologies in terms of clinical potential, translational hurdles, and future impact on patient care. the audience will be also able to recognize the key challenges and opportunities in advancing from current regenerative protocols toward fully functional tissue engineering solutions for endodontic regeneration.
