Table 1.

Summary of advantages, disadvantages, and prerequisites of the revascularization approach.

Advantages [64,65,66,67] Disadvantages [64,65,66,67] Prerequisites [30,68,69,70]
  • Technically simple.

  • Technique can be used without expensive biotechnology.

  • Chances of immune rejection and pathogen transmission are negligible.

  • Microleakage negligible

  • Concerns of restoration retention are negligible.

  • In immature teeth, the walls of the rots are reinforced.

  • New developed tissues can easily access the root canal system.

  • Preserve vital tissue as minimum instrumentation

  • Rapid capacity to heal the tissue in young patients

  • More regenerative potential in young patients

  • It is still not known from which source the tissue can be regenerated.

  • Blood-clot formation is not the factor on which tissue engineering relies.

  • Treatment outcome will vary with changes in the concentration and composition of cells.

  • Necrotic pulp secondary to trauma, open apices, and permanent dentition.

  • Tooth must have thin walls.

  • Effective coronal seal

  • Matrix for the growth of new tissues

  • Canal should not be instrumented.

  • Blood-clot formation

  • Sodium hypochlorite as an irrigant

  • Non-vital traumatized tooth

  • If treatment procedures, such as apexogenesis, apexification, partial pulpotomy, or root canal obturation, are not suitable, then only this treatment approach will be used.
