Regenerative Endodontic Treatment as a Biologically Based Approach for Non-Surgical Retreatment of Immature Teeth
CE Hours: 1.0 CE hour
Description: The goal of regenerative endodontic treatment (RET) is to regenerate the pulpdentin complex in immature teeth with pulp necrosis. There is no consensus in using RET in previously treated teeth. This article reports on long-term outcomes of RET in previously
treated immature teeth.
At the conclusion, participants should be able to:
- Describe the antibacterial strategy adopted for regenerative endodontic treatment (RET) in immature teeth with failed root canal treatment
Describe the significance of CBCT imaging in diagnosis, treatment planning and assessment of outcomes in immature teeth undergone RET - Explain the advantages offered by RET for treatment of immature teeth with failed root canal treatment
