Regenerative endodontics is the generation and replacement of diseased, damaged or absent pulp. This issue of Dental Clinics of North America provides a clinical view of regenerative endodontics and its aims, methods and techniques.

This issue of Dental Clinics of North America focuses on Endodontics, and is edited by Dr. Mo Kang. Articles will include: Endodontic Microbiology and Pathobiology: Current State of Knowledge; Conventional Endodontic Therapies: Innovation in Biomechanics; Endodontic Retreatments: Non-surgical and Surgical Approaches; Pain Management in Endodontics: Opportunity for New Therapeutics; Pulpal Management of Immature Teeth: Use of New Biomaterials for Conservative Therapies; Innovation in Bioactive Restorative Materials; Topic in Regenerative Endodontics; Biological Molecules for the Regeneration of the Pulp-dentin Complex; Cell Homing Approach in Endodontic Regeneration; Stem Cell Therapies for Oral and Systemic Diseases; Endodontic Treatment Outcomes, and more!

This richly illustrated book combines explanation of the scientific base underpinning vital pulp treatment with description of current and emerging trends in clinical practice. It guides the reader through modern views on pulp diagnostics, deep caries, and pulp exposure management, leading to an analysis of the biological aspects of regenerative techniques such as angiogenesis, neurogenesis, inflammation, and epigenetics. In the later chapters, practical considerations relating to bioengineering, biomaterial choice, revitalization, and stem cell-based procedures are discussed and their likely therapeutic impact considered. Aimed at dental students, postgraduates, and research-minded dental practitioners, this translational book summarizes state-of-the-art scientific knowledge on dentin–pulp interactions and regenerative endodontics, while highlighting the opportunities to incorporate recent developments into everyday practice. Readers will also find extensive discussion of potential future developments and research avenues relating to each aspect of this exciting and rapidly developing field.

In this issue of Dental Clinics, guest editors Alpdogan Kantarci, Andreas Stavropoulos, and Anton Sculean bring their considerable expertise to the topic of Biologics and Biology-based Regenerative Treatment Approaches in Periodontics. Provides in-depth, clinical reviews on the latest updates in Biologics and Biology-based Regenerative Treatment Approaches in Periodontics, providing actionable insights for clinical practice. Presents the latest information on this timely, focused topic under the leadership of experienced editors in the field; Authors synthesize and distill the latest research and practice guidelines to create these timely topic-based reviews.

As a first year mds student , thrown into the ocean of dentistry was a bit clueless about intricacies of the enormous array of regenerative endodontics being taught, not understanding why I needed to be so thorough with so many aspects of regeneration and other disciplines . It took me a year when I started studying its properties and behaviour. Probably the seed of this book was sown then. As CHARLES WILLIAM ELIOT observed “Books are the quietest and most constant friends; they are the most accessible and wisest counsellors. The chapters in this book have a flow were the story unfolds as one reads on in a clear, simple and stepwise manner. This textbook has tried to assemble the current knowledge of the subject along with traditional principles and concepts and presented to help in developing a better understanding of the subject. As we know conventional root canal therapy cleans and fills the pulp chamber with biologically inert material. Regenerative endodontics instead seeks to replace living tissue in the pulp chamber.

In this issue of Dental Clinics, guest editors Drs. Jack L. Ferracane, Luiz E. Bertassoni, and Carmem S. Pfeifer bring their considerable expertise to the topic of Dental Biomaterials. Dental biomaterials have received recent attention in terms of exhibiting excellent performance, as well as increased migration and proliferation of cells involved in the osseointegration of implants. This issue offers up-to-date, expert coverage of adhesives, cements, composites, ceramics, scaffold materials, and implants, as well as light curing and safety of dental materials. Contains 11 practice-oriented topics including dental adhesives: surface modifications of tooth structure for stable bonding; resin-based composites: materials for direct and indirect applications; new technologies for restorative dentistry; advances in ceramics for dental applications; cements and protocols for bonded dental ceramics; and more. Provides in-depth clinical reviews on dental biomaterials, offering actionable insights for clinical practice. Presents the latest information on this timely, focused topic under the leadership of experienced editors in the field. Authors synthesize and distill the latest research and practice guidelines to create clinically significant, topic-based reviews.
