NOMURA, Lincon Hideo et al. Regenerative endodontic treatment of teeth with incomplete root formation: a review. RSBO (Online) [online]. 2016, vol.13, n.3, pp.199-208. ISSN 1984-5685.

Introduction: Endodontic treatment of teeth with open apex requires a non-conventional approach and the goals new therapies are to allow root's complete development differently from what happens with traditional apexification technique. Objective: This study aimed to review the literature on the most recent regenerative endodontic procedures.Literature review: Regenerative endodontics goal is to obtain pulp vitality. Some case reports on donor-obtained dental stem cells show promising results. Other types of laboratory-based dental stem cell therapies are under development. Conclusion: Dentin-pulp complex shows regenerative capacity, but the literature lacks evidence to validate the regenerative therapies in endodontic practice.
