Regenerative dentistry is emerging as one of the most transformative areas in modern dental science, shifting the focus from repair and replacement toward biological restoration. Through the integration of stem cell biology, biomimetic scaffolds, growth factors, nanotechnology, and 3D bioprinting, the field is moving closer to restoring natural tooth and periodontal function. In the coming decade, regenerative dentistry will likely play a mainstream role in endodontics, periodontics, and maxillofacial reconstruction. This article explores current strategies, clinical applications, technological integration, and the barriers to translation while emphasizing the promising future of personalized regenerative therapies in dentistry.
