Regenerative Endodontics in Children: Current Evidence, Challenges, and Future Directions

Abstract

The management of immature permanent teeth with necrotic pulps presents a significant challenge in paediatric  endodontics, due to incomplete root formation, thin dentinal walls, and vulnerability to fracture. Traditional  methods (e.g., apexification) promote apical closure but do not restore the functional pulp–dentin complex or allow for continued root maturation.
