Revitalization of Traumatized Immature Permanent Teeth

The main idea behind revitalization is to firstly disinfect the root canal and subsequently attract or transplant mesenchymal stem cells from the (remaining) dental pulp and apical papilla (in case of immature permanent teeth) into the root canal. More specifically, this therapy is not based on mechanical and (aggressive) chemical debridement as in conventional root canal treatment but is supported by the pillars of tissue engineering: stem cells, growth factors and a scaffold .
