GuttaPercha Obturation Solid Core Carrier Technique Obturation with Silver Cone Apical Third Filling Postobturation Instructions Repair following Endodontic Treatment The success in endodontic treatment is based on proper diagnosis and treatment planning, knowledge of anatomy and morphology, debridement, sterilization and obturation The process of cleaning and shaping determines both the degree of disinfection and the ability to obturate the radicular space, obturation is therefore a reflection of the cleaning and shaping and an obturant (obturating material) must seal the root canal system three dimensionally so as to prevent tissue fluids from percolating in the root canal and toxic byproducts from both necrotic tissue and microorganisms regressing into the periradicular tissues (Figs 19.1 to 19.4) The obturation of the prepared space have been achieved by using a wide variety of materials selected for their intrinsic properties and handling characteristics These core materials have been classified as cements, pastes, plastics or solids Gutta-percha, in its various forms, has remained the paragon as a root canal filling material during the course of last century The development of core materials and delivery techniques has generated carrier-based gutta-percha and resin-based system These filling materials are combined with sealers to provide an adequate obturation of the root canal space that ideally prevents the emergence of endodontic disease and encourages peripheral healing when pathosis is present This process can only succeed if the sealed root canal space prevents further ingress of bacteria, entombs remaining microorganisms and prevents their survival by obstructing the nutrient supply Root canal obturation involves the three dimensional filling of the entire root canal system and is a critical step Fig 19.1 Radiograph showing three-dimensional obturation Fig 19.2 Diagrammatic representation of an obturated tooth Obturation of Root

Preoperative radiograph showing carious 36; (B) Working length radiograph; (C) Master cone radiograph; (D) Postobturation radiograph Courtesy: Anil Dhingra The importance of the three dimensional obturation of the root canal system cannot be overstated, with the ability to achieve this goal primarily dependent on the quality of root canal cleaning and shaping as well as clinical skills Objectives of root canal obturation • Total debridement of the pulpal space • Development of a fluid tight seal at the apical foramen • Total obliteration of root canal Fig 19.5 Leakage in an obturated canal leading to root canal failure in endodontic therapy There are two main purposes of obturation—the elimination of all avenues of leakage from the oral cavity or the periradicular tissues into the root canal system, and sealing within the root canal system of any irritants that remain after appropriate shaping and cleaning of the canals, thereby isolating these irritants Pulpal demise, subsequent periradicular infection result from the presence of microorganisms, microbial toxins and metabolites and the products of pulp tissue degradation Failure to eliminate these etiological factors and further irritation as a result of continued contamination of the root canal system are the prime reasons for the failure of nonsurgical and surgical root canal therapy (Fig 19.5) History 1757 – Carious teeth were extracted, filled with gold/lead and replanted again 1847 – Hill’s stopping was developed 1867 – CA Bowman claimed to be the first to use gutta-percha for root canal filling 1883 – Perry claimed that he had been using a pointed gold wire wrapped with some gutta-percha ( the roots of present day core carrier technique) 1887 – SS White Company began to manufacture GP points 1914 – Lateral condensation technique was developed by Callahan 1953 – Acerbach advised filling of root canals with silver wires 1961 – Use of stainless steel files in conjunction with root canal sealer as given by Sampeck 1979 – McSpadden technique TIMING OF OBTURATION Patient Symptoms • Sensitivity on percussion—indicates inflammation of periodontal ligament space, canal should not be obturated before the inflammation has subsided • In case of irreversible pulpitis, obturation can be completed in single visit if the main source of pain, i.e pulp has been removed Obturation of Root Canal System Pulp and Periradicular Status Vital Pulp Tissue When patient exhibits a vital pulp, obturation can be completed in single visit if the main source of pain, i.e pulp has been removed It further precludes contamination as a result of leakage during the period between patient visits Necrotic Pulp Tissue • Teeth with necrotic pulp may be treated in single visit if the tooth is asymptomatic • If patient presents with sensitivity on percussion, it indicates inflammation in periodontal ligament space, canal should be obturated before the inflammation has subsided Purulent Exudates • According to Cohen, the apical points of termination should be 1 mm from the radiographic apex • Radiographically the root canal filling should have the appearance of a dense, three dimensional filling that extends as close as possible to the cementodentinal junction • The importance of length control in obturation relates to extrusion of materials One should avoid overextension overfilling and underfilling of root canal system Overfilling is the total obturation of root canal system with excess material extruding beyond apical foramen Overextension is the extrusion of filling material beyond apical foramen but the canal may not have been filled completely and apex have not been sealed (Fig 19.6) Underfilling is filling of the root canal system more than mm short of radiographic apex (Fig 19.7) • Even presence of a slight purulent exudates may indicate possibility of exacerbation If canal is sealed, pressure and subsequent tissue destruction may proceed rapidly • After complete cleaning and shaping procedure, calcium hydroxide should be placed as an antimicrobial and temporary obturant in necrotic cases that cannot be treated in one visit because investigators noted that bacteria in instrumented, unfilled canals can multiply and reach their pretreatment number in to days Negative Culture Experience has shown that filling a root canal known to be infected is risky But the reliance on negative culture has decreased now since the researchers have shown that false negative results can give inaccurate assessment on microbial flora, also the positive results not indicate the potential pathogenicity of bacteria Procedural Concerns Fig 19.6 Radiograph showing overextended obturation • Procedural concerns also indicates the time of obturation Difficult cases may require more time for preparation and can be managed more uneventfully in multiple appointments • Patients may require multiple short appointments because of medical conditions, their psychologic state of mind and fatigue EXTENT OF ROOT CANAL FILLING • The anatomic limit of the pulp space are the dentinocementum junction (DCJ) apically and the pulp chamber coronally • Canals filled to the apical dentinocementum junction are filled to the anatomic limit of the canal Beyond this point, the periodontal structure begins • Kutler (1995) described dentinocementum junction (DCJ) as minor apical diameter which ends 0.5 mm short of apical foramen in young patients and 0.67 mm short in older patients 285 Fig 19.7 Radiograph showing underfilling of 45 286 Textbook of Endodontics POINTS TO REMEMBER Features of an ideal root canal obturation • Three dimensional obturation close to CDJ • Radiographically, filling should be seen 0.5 to 0.75 mm from radiographic apex • Minimal use of a root canal sealer which is confined to root canal metal like copper, nickel which add up the corrosion of the silver points Indications Due to stiffness of silver cones, these are mainly indicated in round, tapered and narrow canals, for example maxillary first premolars or buccal roots of maxillary molars and mesial root of mandibular molars if they are straight MATERIALS USED FOR OBTURATION Contraindications An ideal root canal filling should be capable of completely preventing communication between the oral cavity and periapical tissue Root canal sealers should be biocompatible or well tolerated by the tissues in their set state, and are used in conjunction with the core filling material to establish an adequate seal Silver cones cannot conform with the shape of root canal because they lack plasticity; so their use is not indicated: • For obturation of anterior teeth, single canal premolars, or large single canals in molars • In young teeth having large ovoid canals Grossman (1982) grouped acceptable filling materials into plastics, solids, cements and pastes He also delineated 10 requirements for an ideal root canal filling material, these are as follows: Easily introduced into a root canal Seal the canal laterally as well as apically Not shrink after being inserted Impervious to moisture Bacteriostatic or at least not courage bacterial growth Radiopaque Non-staining the tooth structure Non-irritating Sterile/easily sterilized immediately before obturation 10 Easily removed from the root canal if necessary Various endodontic materials have been advocated for obturation of the radicular space A variety of core materials have been used in conjunction with a sealer/cement, the most common method of obturation involves gutta-percha as a core material The properties of an ideal obturation material were outlined by Grossman (mentioned above) Historically a variety of material have been employed A common solid material used was the silver cone, though gold, iridoplatinum, tantalum, titanium are also available Materials used for root canal filling • Silver cones • Gutta-percha • Custom cones • Resilon • Root canal sealers Gutta-percha (Fig 19.8) Gutta-percha was initially used as a restorative material and later developed into an indispensable endodontic filling material Gutta-percha was earlier used as splints for holding fractured joints, to control hemorrhage in extracted sockets, in various skin diseases such as psoriasis, eczema and in manufacturing of golf balls Gutta-percha is derived from two words: “GETAH” – meaning gum “PERTJA” - name of the tree Historical background 1843 – Sir Jose d Almeida first introduced gutta-percha to Royal Society of England In Dentistry – Edwin Truman introduced gutta-percha as temporary filling material 1847 – Hill introduced Hill’s stopping (a mixture of bleached guttapercha and carbonate of lime and quartz) 1867 – Bowman first used gutta-percha as root canal filling material 1883 – Perry packed gold wire wrapped with gutta-percha in root canals 1887 – SS White Company started the commercial manufacture of gutta-percha points 1893 – Rollins used gutta-percha with pure oxide of mercury in root canals 1914 – Callahan did softening and dissolution of gutta-percha with use of rosins and then used for obturation of the canals 1959 – Ingle and Levine proposed standardization of root canal instruments and filling materials Silver Cones • Jasper (1941) introduced silver cones which he claimed produced the same success rate as gutta-percha and were easier to use • Rigidity provided by the silver cones made them easy to place and permitted length control • They were mainly used for teeth with fine, tortuous, curved canals which make the use of gutta-percha difficult • But now-a-days their use has been declined, because of corrosion caused by them Silver cones contain traces of Fig 19.8 Gutta-percha cones Obturation of Root Canal System 287 Sources Gutta-percha is a dried coagulated extract which is derived from Brazilian trees (Palaquium) These trees belong to Sapotaceae family In India, these are found in Assam and Western Ghats Chemistry Its molecular structure is close to natural rubber, which is also a cis-isomer of polyisoprene Chemical Structure Fig 19.9 Brittle gutta-percha point breaks on bending In crude form, the composition of gutta-percha is Gutta – 75 – 82% Alban – 14 – 16% Fluavil – 04 – 06% Also contains tannins, salts and saccharine Composition of commercially available gutta-percha (Given by Friedman et al) • Matrix (Organic) Gutta-percha • Filler (Inorganic) Zinc oxide • Radiopacifiers (Inorganic) sulfates Heavy metal • Plasticizers (Organic) Waxes or resins 20% 66% 11% 3% In other words • Organic content – Gutta-percha + Waxes = 23% • Inorganic content – ZnO + Metal sulfates = 77% Chemically pure gutta-percha exists in two different crystalline forms, i.e a and b which differ in molecular repeat distance and single bond form Natural gutta-percha coming directly from the tree is in a—form while the most commercial available product is in b—form POINTS TO REMEMBER Different forms of gutta-percha Alpha form • Pliable and tacky at 56°–64° • Available in form of bars or pellets • Used in thermoplasticized obturation technique Beta form • Rigid and solid at 42°–44° • Used for manufacturing gutta-percha points and sticks Amorphous form Exists in molten stage Phases of gutta-percha These phases are interconvertible • a - runny, tacky and sticky (lower viscosity) • b - solid, compactable and elongatable (higher viscosity) • g - unstable form • On heating, gutta-percha expands which accounts for increased volume of material which can be compacted into the root canal • Gutta-percha shrinks as it returns to normal temperature So, vertical pressure should be applied in all warm guttapercha technique to compensate for volume change when cooling occurs (Schilder et al) • Aging of gutta-percha causes brittleness because of the oxidation process (Fig 19.9) Storage under artificial light also speeds up their deterioration • Brittle gutta-percha can be rejuvenated by a technique described by Sorien and Oliet In this, gutta-percha is immersed in hot water (55°C) for one or two seconds and then immediately immersed in cold water for few seconds • Gutta-percha cannot be heat sterilized For disinfection of gutta-percha points, they should be immersed in 5.25 percent NaOCl for one minute (Fig 19.10) • After this, gutta-percha should be rinsed in hydrogen peroxide or ethyl alcohol to remove crystallized NaOCl before obturation, as these crystallized particles impair the obturation • Gutta-percha should always be used with sealer and cement to seal root canal space as gutta-percha lacks adhering qualities • Gutta-percha is soluble in certain solvents like chloroform, eucalyptus oil, etc This property can be used to plasticize gutta-percha by treating it with the solvent for better filling in the canal But it has shown that gutta-percha shrinks (12%) when solidifies • Gutta-percha also shows some tissue irritation which is due to high content of zinc oxide Current Available Forms of Gutta-percha • Gutta-percha points (Figs 19.2 and 19.11): Standard cones are of same size and shape as that of ISO endodontic instruments 288 Textbook of Endodontics Fig 19.10 Sterilization of gutta-percha by immersing in 5.25% sodium hypochlorite for one minute Fig 19.12 Auxiliary points Fig 19.13 Greater taper points Fig 19.11 Gutta-percha points • Auxiliary points: Non-standardized cones; perceive form of root canal (Fig 19.12) • Greater taper gutta-percha points: Available in 4 percent, 6 percent, 8 percent and 10 percent taper (Fig 19.13) • Gutta-percha pellets/bars: They are used in thermoplasticized gutta-percha obturation, e.g obtura system • Precoated core carrier gutta-percha: In these stainless steel, titanium or plastic carriers are precoated with alpha-phase gutta-percha for use in canal, e.g thermafil (Fig 19.14) • Syringe systems: They use low viscosity gutta-percha, e.g Success-fil and alpha seal • Gutta flow: In this gutta-percha powder is incorporated into resin based sealer Fig 19.14 Thermafil gutta-percha • Gutta-percha sealers like chloropercha and eucopercha: In these, gutta-percha is dissolved in chloroform/ eucalyptol to be used in the canal • Medicated gutta-percha: Calcium hydroxide, iodoform or chlorhexidine diacetate containing gutta-percha points Obturation of Root Canal System 289 Fig 19.16 Calcium hydroxide containing gutta-percha Fig 19.15 Radiograph showing radiopaque gutta-percha Advantages of gutta-percha • Compatibility: Adaptation to canal walls • Inertness: Makes it non-reactive material • Dimensionally stable • Tissue tolerance • Radiopacity: Easily recognizable on radiograph (Fig 19.15) • Plasticity: Becomes plastic when heated • Dissolve in some solvents like chloroform, eucalyptus oil, etc This property makes it more versatile as canal filling material Disadvantages of gutta-percha • Lack of rigidity: Bending of gutta-percha is seen when lateral pressure is applied So, difficult to use in smaller canals • Easily displaced by pressure • Lacks adhesive quality Medicated Gutta-percha • Calcium hydroxide containing gutta-percha (Fig 19.16): These are made by combing 58 percent of calcium hydroxide in matrix of 42 percent gutta-percha They are available in ISO size of 15 to 140 Action of calcium hydroxide is activated by moisture in canal Advantages of calcium hydroxide points • Ease of insertion and removal • Minimal or no residue left • Firm for easy insertion Disadvantages • Short lived action • Radiolucent • Lack of sustained release • Calcium hydroxide plus points – Along with calcium hydroxide and gutta-percha, they contain tenside which reduces the surface tension – Due to presence of water soluble components tenside and sodium chloride, they are three times more reactive then calcium hydroxide points – They have superior pH and increases wettability of canal surface with increased antibacterial property – They have sustained alkaline pH for one week • Iodoform containing gutta-percha – Iodoform containing gutta-percha remains inert till it comes in contact with the tissue fluids – On coming in contact with tissue fluids, free iodine is released which is antibacterial in nature • Chlorhexidine diacetate containing gutta-percha – In this, gutta-percha matrix embedded in percent chlorhexidine diacetate – This material is used as an intracanal medicament Resilon (Fig 19.17) • A resin-based obturation system, epiphany (Pentron Clinical Technologies, Wallingford, CT) and Real Seal (Sybron Endo) have been introduced as an alternative to gutta-percha • The system resembles gutta-percha and can be placed using lateral compaction, warm vertical compaction or thermoplastic injection • It consists of a resin core material (Resilon) composed of polyester, difunctional methacrylate, bioactive glass and radiopaque fillers and a resin sealer • Resilon is a nontoxic, nonmutagenic, and biocompatible • The core material is available in conventional and standardized cones and pellets for use in the Obtura II • The Resilon core bonds to the resin sealer, which attaches to the etched root surface forming a “monoblock” This results in a gutta-percha sealer interface and a tooth – sealer interface This bonding of resilon appears to provide a better coronal seal and may strengthen the root • Resilon core material shrinks only 0.5 percent and is physically bonded to the sealer by polymerization When it sets, no gaps are seen due to no shrinkage The detailed description regarding the use of this system has been discussed in “obturation techniques” section 290 Textbook of Endodontics Fig 19.18 Custom cone made according to shape of canal Root Canal Sealers Fig 19.17 Real seal obturation system Custom Cones (Fig 19.18) • When the apical foramen is open or canal is large, a custom cone may need to be developed • This allows the adaptation of the cone to the canal walls, reduces the potential for extrusion of the core material, may improve the seal • The technique involves selection of a master cone and fitting the cone to mm short of the prepared length with frictional resistance • The cone is removed and the tip is softened in chloroform, eucalyptol or halothane for 1 to 2 seconds • Only the outer superficial portion of the cone is softened The central core of the canal should remain semirigid • The cone is then placed into the canal and gently tamped to the length The process can be repeated until an adequate impression of the canal is obtained at the prepared length • Radiograph is obtained to verify the proper fit and position • An alternate method to solvents is softening with heat It can be accomplished by heating several large guttapercha cones and rolling the mass between two glass slabs until an appropriate size is obtained • Purpose of sealing root canals is to prevent periapical exudates from diffusing into the unfilled part of the canal, to avoid reentry and colonization of bacteria and to check residual bacteria from reaching the periapical tissues Therefore to accomplish a fluid tight seal, a root canal sealer is needed • Sealer performs several functions during the obturation of a root canal system with gutta-percha; it lubricates and aids the seating of the master gutta-percha cone, acts as a binding agent between the gutta-percha and the canal wall and fills anatomical spaces where the primary filling material fails to reach • Root canal sealer, although used only as adjunctive materials in the obturation of root canal systems, have been shown to influence the outcome of root canal treatment • The adequate combination of sealing ability and biocompatibility of root canal sealer is important for a favorable prognosis of the root canal treatment • Studies have shown that most commercially available sealers can irritate the periapical tissues Initially some type of cytotoxic reaction may even be partially beneficial with respect to eventual periapical healing So, for a root canal filling material, this toxicity should be minimal and clinically acceptable at the time of obturation At a later time period, the material should become as inert as possible • There are a variety of sealers that have been used with different physical and biological properties The clinician must be careful to evaluate all characteristics of a sealer before selecting Requirements of an Ideal Root Canal Sealer Grossman listed following requirements and characteristics of a good root canal sealer: Obturation of Root Canal System • It should be tacky when mixed so as to provide good adhesion between it and the canal wall when set Only polycarboxylates, glass ionomers and resin sealers satisfy the requirement of good adhesion to dentin • It should create hermetic seal • It should be radiopaque so that it can be visualized in the radiograph Radiopacity, is provided by salts of heavy metals such as silver, barium and bismuth • The particles of powder should be very fine so that they can be mixed easily with the liquid • It should not shrink upon setting All of the sealers shrink slightly on setting, and gutta-percha also shrinks when returning from a warmed or plasticized state • It should not stain tooth structure Grossman’s cement, zinc oxide-eugenol, endomethasone, and N2 induce a moderate orange-red stain, Diaket and Tubli-Seal cause a mild pink discoloration, AH-26 gives a distinct color shift towards gray, Riebler’s paste cause a severe dark red stain Diaket causes the least discoloration Leaving any sealers or staining cements in the tooth crown should be avoided • It should be bacteriostatic or atleast not encourage bacterial growth All root canal sealers exert antimicrobial activity to a varying degree and those containing paraformaldehyde to a greater degree initially • It should set slowly The working and setting times of sealers are dependent on the constituent components, their particle size, temperature and relative humidity There is no standard working time for sealers, but it must be long enough to allow placement and adjustment of root filling if necessary • It should be insoluble in tissue fluids • It should be tolerant, nonirritating to periradicular tissue • It should be soluble in a common solvent if it is necessary to remove the root canal fitting The following were added to Grossman’s basic requirements: • It should not provoke an immune response in periradicular tissue • It should be neither mutagenic nor carcinogenic 291 Functions of Root Canal Sealers Root canal sealers are used in conjunction with filling materials for the following purposes: • Antimicrobial agent: All the popularly used sealers contain some antibacterial agent, and so a germicidal quality is excreted in the period of time immediately after its placement • Sealers are needed to fill in the discrepancies between the filling material and the dentin walls (Fig 19.19) • Binding agent: Sealers act as binding agent between the filling material and the dentin walls • As lubricant: When used with semisolid materials, sealer act as a lubricant • Radiopacity: All sealers display some degree of radiopacity; thus they can be detected on a radiograph This property can disclose the presence of auxiliary canals, resorptive areas, root fractures, and the shape of apical foramen • Certain techniques dictate the use of particular sealer: The choropercha technique, for instance, uses the material as sealer as well as a solvent for the master cone It allows the shape of normal gutta-percha cone to be altered according to shape of the prepared canal POINTS TO REMEMBER Functions of root canal sealers • As antimicrobial agent • Fill the discrepancies between the materials and dentin walls • As binding agent • As lubricant • Give radiopacity • As obturating material Classification There are numerous classifications of root canal sealers Classifications according to various authors are discussed below POINTS TO REMEMBER Requirements of an ideal root canal sealer • Should be tacky when mixed to provide good adhesion between it and the canal wall when set • Should create hermetic seal • Should be radiopaque • Powder particles size should be very fine, for easy mixing with liquid • Should not shrink upon setting • Should not stain tooth structure • Should be bacteriostatic • Should set slowly • Should be insoluble in tissue fluids • Should be non-irritating to periradicular tissue • Should be soluble in a common solvent • Should not provide immune response in periradicular tissue • Should not be mutagenic or carcinogenic Fig 19.19 Sealer fills the space between gutta-percha points 588 Textbook of Endodontics • • • • influence of cells of Hertwig’s epithelial root sheath, which are quite resistant to destruction, even in the presence of inflammation The newly formed odontoblasts can lay down atubular dentin at the apical end, causing apexogenesis as well as on lateral aspects of dentinal walls of the root canal, reinforcing and strengthening the root Continued root development due to multipotent dental pulp stem cells, which are present in permanent teeth and might be present in abundance in immature teeth These cells from the apical end might be seeded onto the existing dentinal walls and might differentiate into odontoblasts and deposit tertiary or atubular dentin Stem cells in the periodontal ligament can proliferate, grow into the apical end and within the root canal, and deposit hard tissue both at the apical end and on the lateral root walls Root development could be attributed to stem cells from the apical papilla or the bone marrow Instrumentation beyond the confines of the root canal to induce bleeding can also transplant mesenchymal cells from the bone into the canal lumen These cells have excellent proliferative capacity Transplantation studies have shown that human stem cells from bone marrow can form bone or dentin in vivo Blood clot itself being a rich source of growth factors could play important role in regeneration These include platelet– derived growth factor, vascular factor, and tissue growth factor and could stimulate differentiation, growth and maturation of fibroblasts, odontoblasts, cementoblasts, etc from the immature undifferentiated mesenchymal cells in the newly formed tissue matrix ADVANTAGES OF REVASCULARIZATION PROCEDURE • Short treatment time • The approach is technically simple and can be completed using currently available instruments and medicaments without expensive biotechnology • The regeneration of tissue in root canal systems by a patient’s own blood cells avoids the possibility of immune rejection and pathogen transmission from replacing the pulp with a tissue engineered construct • Cost effective • Obturation of canal not required • Continued root development and strengthening LIMITATIONS OF REVASCULARIZATION PROCEDURE • The case reports of a blood clot having the capacity to regenerate pulp tissue are exciting, but caution is required, because the source of the regenerated tissue has not been identified Generally, tissue engineering does not rely on blood clot formation, because the concentration and composition of cells trapped in the fibrin clot is unpredictable This is a critical limitation to a blood clot revascularization approach because tissue engineering is founded on the delivery of effective concentrations and compositions of cells to restore function It is very possible that variations in cell concentration and composition, particularly in older patients (where circulating stem cell concentrations may be lower) may lead to variations in treatment outcome • Enlargement of the apical foramen is necessary to promote vascularizaton and to maintain initial cell viability via nutrient diffusion Related to this point, cells must have an available supply of oxygen; therefore, it is likely that cells in the coronal portion of the root canal system either would not survive or would survive under hypoxic conditions before angiogenesis Interestingly, endothelial cells release soluble factors under hypoxic conditions that promote cell survival and angiogenesis, whereas other cell types demonstrate similar responses to low oxygen availability • Crown discoloration, development of resistant bacterial strains and allergic reactions to intracanal medications Access opening may be sealed with dentin bonding agents and flowable composite to avoid contact of triantibiotic paste with dentin • Canal may get calcified compromising esthetics and not allowing post placement It is accepted that in luxated or avulsed teeth with open apices and apical periodontitis, revascularization is a possibility The explanation for this positive outcome is that although the pulp is devitalized after avulsion, it will stay free of bacteria for some time If, in this time, the new vital tissue fills the canal space, the ingress of bacteria will be stopped Thus, the disinfection relies solely on irrigants and intracanal medications and formation of a blood clot in the canal after disinfection This blood clot acts as a matrix for the growth of new tissue into the pulp space An interesting question is the origin of the new pulp tissue Based on the fact that the root continued to grow and that the walls of the root appeared to thicken in a conventional manner, it is likely that the tissue is in fact pulp with functioning odontoblasts Therefore, even though a large apical lesion is present, it is probable that some vital pulp tissue and Hertwig’s epithelial root sheath remained When the canal is disinfected and the inflammatory conditions reversed, these tissues can proliferate However, the predictability of this procedure and the type of tissue that develops in these cases are still to be studied The benefit is so great compared with leaving a root with a thin and fracturesusceptible wall that, in our opinion, it is worth attempting If no root development can be seen within months, the more traditional apexification procedures can then be started Tissue Engineering 589 We have entered an exciting era where the diverse fields of stem cell biology tissue engineering, nano technology, and material science have converged synergistically to characterize and manipulate signaling cascades regulating tissue and organ regeneration The field of tissue engineering is certainly the one in which there are more questions than answers From the conceptual standpoint, there is little doubt that the best material to replace tooth structure is tooth structure QUESTIONS Define tissue engineering What are strategies of stem cell technology What are bioactive molecules in restorative
