SP-12 Predicting Outcomes in Regenerative Endodontic Procedures
CE Hours: 0.75
Description: Regenerative endodontic procedures (REPs) offer a biologically based treatment option with the potential to restore tooth vitality and support root maturation. Clinical success is typically measured by the resolution of symptoms, apical closure, increased canal wall thickness, root elongation, and positive vitality responses. REPs have demonstrated high predictability and long-term tooth survival, particularly critical in younger patients where the goal is to maintain function for decades. Despite logistical challenges, long-term follow-up provides essential insight into the durability of these outcomes and the factors influencing treatment success. In this presentation, we will analyze a series of REP cases with extended follow-up, highlighting clinical trends, outcomes, and complications observed over time.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify key predictive factors that influence the success of regenerative endodontic procedures.
- Apply step-by-step clinical protocols tailored to specific case scenarios.
- Discuss emerging trends and future directions in REP techniques and materials.
