Celiz and his fellows have developed a new filling made from synthetic biomaterial that can stimulate the growth of stem cells in the pulp of the tooth, which can be injected into the tooth like a regular filling and hardened with UV light. In the future, Celiz says, all fillings could be made of such regenerative material so that damaged teeth could heal themselves, lowering the failure rate of fillings, and potentially even eliminating the need for most root canals. What do you think?
I think that the day will come when the root filling procedure will be simple and uncomplicated with little steps as the science is in evolution .

I think that the idea is great and the future. The main problem is the bacteria that are inside the root canal and the blood irrigation.
Nowadays, the new bioceramics material significantly improve the regenerative therapy, but its not the end of root canal treatment, acutely as definition even with the regenerative therapy its consider root canal treatment , but I know you mean root canal treatment by obturation technique, as we all know regenerative therapy have some requirement to meet. just for example, for restoration part we still need obturation technique followed with post and core we cant do regenerative therapy for badly decay tooth which is the most common cause for pulpal and periapical disease.
so I dont think its the end of obturation technique in root canal treatment
Thanks colleagues for your input.
I think it is like a preventive treatment since it assists self healing preventing the progression of caries inside enamel, dentine or even first layers of pulp precluding the need for (RCT). But afterall still some cases eg: traumatised teeth or teeth with perio-endo intervention need RCT. Of course infected pulps are real challenge as stated by Dr. Raid.

what after it hardened, in which part the regenerative tissues will grew, is it going to dissolve, i think it could be just as obturating materials. may i dont understand the mechanism exactly ,,,,,,,thanks for your question
Thanks Dr. ElhadI
I actually have tried to find the original article but can not. It is mentioned in the latest news... as a promising project..I have raised up the question for discussion in case if this comes to be true in the future.
I stand for Minimally Invasive Dentistry . That is why I support any less invasive procedures. When we are talking about any dental procedure we need to think about our intervention as a dentist and on the other hand the immune system of our patient.
I do agree: host defense mechanism should not be overlooked,,,, in case of revascularization the regenerative process depend mainly on the blood that coming with simulator cells from within the periapical tissues of patient body ,,,,,
I think the main problem isn't the stimulation of the regeneration capacity of the pulp, the pulp is even able to built dentinoblasts and new dentine.
The main problem is the bacterial infection of the pulp and the immune reaction in an extraordinary situation, i.e. closed cavern with probably poor blood irrigation.
Interesting research, but I agree with Ritt " the bacterias" that persist inside the root canal and into the dentinal tubules.
Another problem is the blood irrigation inside the root canal via a small foramen, to create conditions for cells type odontoblasts diferentiation.
