SP-31 Regenerative Endodontic Procedures in Adult Patients: 15-year Outcome in a Clinical Setting
CE Hours: 0.75
Description: Pulp Necrosis in young patients may lead to interruption of the normal root development. Regenerative Endodontic Procedures (REP) have been shown to be a promising treatment strategy for the repair or regeneration of the damaged tissues in order to achieve complete development or closure of the apical root third. Most published reports using REPs have focused on patients aged 8-16 years and mainly with open apex teeth. In the recent years, REPs have been also suggested for the treatment of adult patients in different clinical scenarios. During this presentation, different situations where REP have been performed in adult patients will be introduceD treatment of teeth with fully developed roots, apical root resorptions, teeth with previous surgical and non-surgical retreatment or autotransplanted teeth. Some of these cases have been followed for up to 15 years after treatment.
Learning Objectives:
- List the different clinical scenarios where regenerative endodontic procedures can be performed in adult patients.
- Describe the potential benefits and limitations of regenerative endodontic procedures in adult patients, as compared to conventional endodontic procedures.
- Discuss the short and long-term outcomes of regenerative endodontic procedures in adult patients.
