Roles of Dental Mesenchymal Stem Cells in the Management of Immature Necrotic Permanent Teeth

Dental caries and trauma always lead to pulp necrosis and subsequent root development arrest of young permanent teeth. The traditional treatment, apexification, with the absence of further root formation, results in abnormal root morphology and compromises long-term prognosis. Regeneration endodontics procedures (REPs) have been developed and considered as an alternative strategy for management of immature permanent teeth with pulpal necrosis,...
