Inflammation and Regeneration in the Dentine-Pulp Complex: Where are we now and where are we going?

This narrative review synthesises recent research on how inflammation and regeneration interact within the dentin-pulp complex, exploring immune responses to caries progression and how systemic conditions like type-2 diabetes influence these processes. The authors propose that improved understanding of these mechanisms, supported by preclinical research and clinician-scientist collaboration, could enable better diagnostics and regenerative endodontic treatments.
