There has been a tremendous development in the field of tissue engineering in past two decades that can be applied in the dentistry. With the more recent advances in understanding the cellular and molecular basis controlling the development and regeneration of tooth structures, great changes are expected in conventional dental therapies. These biologically based procedures can result in continued root development, increase in dentinal wall thickness and induction of apical closure even in the case of necrotic immature permanent teeth. In this review role of stem cells in bio- root engineering will be discussed.
