The regenerative potential of dental pulp, particularly in mature teeth, has been considered extremely limited. However, our improved understanding of pulpal inflammation and repair and improved dental materials and technologies make vital pulp therapy a viable alternative to root canal treatment. This article explores our knowledge in this regard and the future potential of saving or even regenerating the pulp as a routine dental procedure.
牙髓的再生潜力，尤其是在成熟牙齿中的再生潜力，一直被认为极其有限。然而，我们对牙髓炎症和修复的深入理解以及牙科材料和技术的改进，使牙髓保存治疗成为根管治疗的可行替代方案。本文探讨了我们在这方面的知识以及将保存甚至再生牙髓作为常规牙科手术的未来潜力。
