The research progress of dental pulp regeneration

Abstract

Living pulp is crucial for the maintenance of tooth homeostasis. An ideal form should consist of regenerative approaches, which necrotic pulp or diseased tissues are replaced with regenerated pulp tissues, and the tooth converts into vital in the end. With the development of tissue engineering, dental pulp regeneration becomes possible. This review will solve and discuss the problems of dental pulp regeneration from stem cells, scaffolds and growth factors.
