In recent years, with the development of life science, materials science and related disciplines, people have had a new understanding about the immature permanent teeth’s ability to regenerate. The regenerative endodontics as a new treatment of pulp necrosis, which may bring more desirable outcomes than the conventional treatment, has become a research focus. As one of the regenerative treatments, pulp revascularization has advantages such as convenience, relatively low cost, lack of immune rejection and ethical issues involved and has gained attention.
