REGENERATIVE ENDODONTICS - AN INSIGHT
Deepika Ghai, Asim Goel, Jaspreet Singh

Endodontic treatment involves salvaging the structure and function of a tooth at the expense of the pulp that is sacrificed in the beginning. Regenerative endodontic have been thought to overcome this short coming by replacement of pathologic pulpal tissue with vital tissue. Literature quotes studies which show that hematopoietic and neural stem cells show increase in number of multipotent clones in hypoxic conditions as compared to normoxic cultures. At same time, hypoxic environment also enhances cell survival and increases the proliferation of multipotent precursors. This review highlights some of the interesting aspects of regenerative endodontics.
Key words: Regenerative Endodontics, Revascularization
