Restore natural tooth development with regenerative endodontics at ReGen Endodontics. This innovative treatment helps immature teeth heal and continue growing by stimulating natural tissue regeneration. Dr. Alabbas Hussain and Dr. Sarah Hussain use advanced, compassionate care to preserve vitality, protect long-term function, and support your child’s lifelong oral health.
Preserve Vitality in Immature Damaged Teeth
Regenerative endodontics is a groundbreaking approach that helps restore the natural development of immature teeth with infected or damaged pulp tissue. Rather than simply removing the tissue and sealing the tooth, this technique encourages the regeneration of healthy pulp, dentin, and root structures, promoting continued growth and healing from within. At ReGen Endodontics, our board-certified endodontists use advanced tools and biologically active materials like stem cells, growth factors, and scaffolds to create the ideal environment for natural tissue regeneration. This procedure is especially beneficial for pediatric patients as it allows us to preserve the vitality and function of your child’s natural tooth while reducing the need for more invasive treatments later in life.
Common Reasons for Regenerative Endodontics:
- Immature permanent tooth with pulp necrosis
- Traumatic dental injury resulting in pulp damage
- Severe dental decay in a developing tooth
- Incomplete root formation with open apex
- Root canal infection in a tooth with thin dentin walls
- Need to encourage continued root development
Regenerative Endodontics vs. Traditional Root Canals
If your child has a developing tooth with pulp damage, regenerative endodontics may offer a better alternative to root canals. While root canal therapy removes the pulp and seals the tooth, regenerative treatment stimulates natural healing and tissue growth inside the tooth. This helps the root continue to mature and strengthens the long-term structure. It’s especially beneficial for young patients because it preserves vitality and reduces the risk of tooth loss later.
Your Regenerative Endodontics Experience
Consultation
Your visit begins with a thorough consultation with Drs. Alabbas or Sarah Hussain. We’ll use advanced diagnostic tools, such as digital radiographs and 3D CBCT imaging, to assess the condition of your child’s tooth and determine if regenerative endodontics is the right approach. Our doctors will explain the treatment plan in clear terms and answer all your questions.
Treatment
During the procedure, your child will be comfortably numbed using local anesthesia. We start by accessing the pulp chamber and removing any infected or necrotic tissue. The root canal space is then disinfected using advanced irrigation protocols and laser-assisted techniques. Once the canal is clean, we place biocompatible materials, such as a scaffold, and possibly growth factors or stem cells to stimulate tissue regeneration. A temporary seal is placed, and in a follow-up, we monitor healing and may place a permanent restoration.
Recovery
Recovery from regenerative endodontics is generally smooth. Your child may experience mild discomfort for a day or two, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief. We’ll schedule follow-up visits to monitor tissue regeneration and root development using clinical evaluation and imaging. Our team remains available to address any concerns throughout.

Regenerative Endodontics FAQs
What Age Group is Regenerative Endodontics Best For?
Regenerative endodontics is most commonly recommended for children and adolescents with immature permanent teeth. If your child has a tooth with an open apex (an incomplete root tip) due to trauma or decay, this treatment can help preserve the tooth and allow it to continue developing normally, which can help maintain long-term oral health.
Is Regenerative Endodontics Painful for My Child?
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so your child won’t feel any pain during the treatment. Afterward, some minor discomfort may occur for a day or two, but it’s usually manageable with over-the-counter pain medications.
Will My Child Need More Than One Visit?
Yes, regenerative endodontics typically requires at least two appointments. The first visit involves cleaning the canal and placing materials to support healing. A follow-up appointment allows us to then monitor the tooth’s progress and, if needed, place a permanent restoration.
