The regenerative endodontic protocol is a unique option for immature necrotic teeth and brings the opportunity to the endodontist to enable the mesenchymal stem cells healing potential. Although there are some clinical situations that still need stronger evidence when selecting the cases, the current research supports the key factors that influence the outcome. Nevertheless, when the pulp is still vital, the evidence emphasizes the importance of its preservation. This presentation will focus on discussing the variables and protocols to apply in your practice, and the future directions to overcome current challenges in regenerative endodontics.

Learning Objectives:

Explain and support the basic concepts behind the regenerative endodontic procedures and adverse events
Describe the expected outcomes in regenerative endodontics based on key predisposing factors
Understand the future direction of regenerative endodontic procedures to overcome the current challenges
