Abstract: Pulp regeneration technology is becoming a research hot issue in recent years, and it is also a good alternative treatment for root canal treatment. The current researches on pulp regeneration mainly focused on immature permanent teeth. In fact, there are far more mature permanent teeth that require endodontic treatment than immature permanent teeth. Therefore, pulp regeneration has great application prospects for mature permanent teeth. Compared with immature permanent teeth, mature permanent teeth have difficulties such as fully developed apical foramen, diverse anatomical structures, and complex microenvironment, etc. It is difficult to achieve pulp regeneration. This article reviews the related researches in recent years and discusses the difficulties and coping solutions of mature permanent teeth in pulp regeneration, in order to provide reference for the future development of pulp regeneration technology in mature permanent teeth.

Key words: dental pulp regeneration, mature teeth, dental pulp stem cells
