Abstract

Regenerative endodontics in discoloured tooth involves introduction of stem cells into the disinfected canal space followed by medications and sealing of the dentinal tubules. Discolouration is more an important factor for many people to achieve an aesthetic smile than restoring the normal alignment within the arch. Tooth discoloration induced by endodontic material is one major concern in dentistry. The three main factors that affect discoloration are intracanal medicament, coronal barrier and dentin bonding agent. Recent studies show that sealing dentinal walls of access cavity with dentin bonding agent helps to avoid discoloration of tooth.
