Abstract

Introduction: Nowadays, when we have a situation that needs an endodontic treatment, we use the classic endodontic approach, removing the dental pulp, using dental files and replacing the dental pulp with cones of guta-percha and endodontic sealers. However, trough the regenerative endodontics, we’re going to evaluate the possibility of a different approachs instead of the normal use of the classic endodontics, using proteins and other source of molecules that can try to create the formation of new cells, and suddenly new dental pulp, through dental scaffolds. Materials and Methods: The present systematic revision followed the main question PICO, with inclusion and exclusion criteria, grounding itself in the PRISMA guidelines. There were used search platforms, like PubMed and ScienceDirect and it was done a screening process to choose the final articles on use. Results: After the final selection, 6 articles that compared the direct action of scaffolds, in between control groups and experimental groups or different scaffolds in different groups were choosen to further and deeper analysis. In general, good results were obtain in resolving symptoms, as in the the rooth length and in the rooth wall thickness. Conclusion: Despite the results being positive in these studies, statistically the differences obtained in the control and experimental groups were not enough to establish the advantages of the scaffolds.
