First seen Dec 10, 2025 · Last updated Jun 21, 2026 · Updated 32 times
Summary
This study tested whether transplanting pulp tissue from a healthy tooth into a dead one could restore vitality. Twenty-one adults with dead single-rooted teeth received either a pulp transplant, a pulp transplant with growth factors, or standard root canal treatment. The goal was to see if the treated teeth would respond to electrical stimulation, indicating nerve regrowth. Results are preliminary and more research is needed.
