Regenerative-Endo-Therapy

Superstition Springs Endodontics has been a leader in regenerative endodontic therapy. Regenerative endodontic therapy, also called pulpal revascularization or pulpal regeneration, is an exciting aspec t of endodontics.

Pulpal revascularization will soon become the standard of care for the treatment of immature roots. This procedure has shown to revitalize or revascularize previously necrotic (dead) pulpal tissue and allow the immature tooth to complete its development. This procedure is at the forefront of tissue engineering in dentistry.

The dental pulp has been identified as a potential source for stem cells, and pulpal revascularization could be summarized as dentistry's initial treatment protocol for tissue engineering/stem cell type therapy.

Pulpal revascularization treatment has been successfully performed at SSE since 2002 and our cases have been included in seminars, lectures and research databases.
