As a first year mds student , thrown into the ocean of dentistry was a bit clueless about intricacies of the enormous array of regenerative endodontics being taught, not understanding why I needed to be so thorough with so many aspects of regeneration and other disciplines . It took me a year when I started studying its properties and behaviour. Probably the seed of this book was sown then.

As CHARLES WILLIAM ELIOT observed “Books are the quietest and most constant friends; they are the most accessible and wisest counsellors. The chapters in this book have a flow were the story unfolds as one reads on in a clear, simple and stepwise manner.

This textbook has tried to assemble the current knowledge of the subject along with traditional principles and concepts and presented to help in developing a better understanding of the subject. As we know conventional root canal therapy cleans and fills the pulp chamber with biologically inert material. Regenerative endodontics instead seeks to replace living tissue in the pulp chamber.
