CE Hours: .75 CE hour 

Occasionally the young pulp of permanent developing teeth might become infected or necrotic due to carries or trauma. Depending on the magnitude of pulpal damage, different treatment modalities may exist such as direct pulp capping, pulpotomy, apexogenesis or apexification. The greater the pulpal damage to the developing permanent dentition, the more compromised the prognosis can be. Recently, regenerative endodontic procedures were introduced in order to improve the long-term prognosis of the compromised developing permanent teeth by re-establishment of a functional vital tissue that fosters continued root development and immune competency. A paradigm shift toward these biological-based approaches might benefit the young patients by improving the long-term survival of even otherwise hopeless teeth. The aim of this lecture is to describe the application of specific clinical regenerative endodontic protocols for the treatment of hopeless teeth in children and adults.


At the conclusion, participants should be able to:

  • Discuss the biological basis of regenerative endodontic procedures.
  • Apply specific clinical regenerative protocols for the treatment of compromised and hopeless teeth in children and adults.
  • Evaluate the regenerative treatment alternatives in the everyday clinical practice.
