New JOE Special Issue Highlights Advances in Pulp Biology, Regeneration and Tooth Preservation
15 papers in the Journal of Endodontics examine stem cells, regenerative therapies, inflammation and emerging approaches that could transform dental care What if a damaged tooth could do more than…
Read MoreBeyond the Radiograph: Histological Insights into Human Mature and Immature Teeth in Regenerative Endodontics
By Badr Hefnawi, Raju Gandhi, and Xiaofei Zhu Many clinicians have ventured into the realm of regenerative procedures, often presenting radiographic evidence of apical closure and canal wall thickening. These…

By Laura Doherty The main “progenitor” or “stem cell” we acknowledge in the world of endodontics is the dental pulp stem cell (DPSC) residing within the in the pulp. These…
Read MoreInfection Control in Regenerative Endodontic Procedures
The traditional treatment of immature teeth with necrotic pulps relied on apexification procedures involving long-term calcium hydroxide Ca(OH)2 treatment with multiple visits or on one-step apexification placing an apical plug of a mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA).
Read MoreAre Regenerative Endodontic Procedures Working?
There has been an ongoing debate about Regenerative Endodontic (RegEndo) procedures and if they actually work. This ongoing debate stems from the success rates for this procedure, which varies. However, the question always remains: do we know everything about this procedure?
