Abstract:

With the advancing times, we are on the verge of a paradigm shift, evolving from offering traditional home care to considering biological solutions to various diseases. With the extraordinary advances taking place in the field of medical science, we are now focused on finding “biological solutions to biological problems.” Regenerating the whole tooth is no more a dream.
