• Regenerative/revitalisation endodontic techniques are increasingly used as a treatment approach for the management of immature permanent teeth with necrotic pulps. Different chemical irrigants and medicaments are routinely used clinically for intra-canal disinfection. However, despite remarkable progress in this field, coronal discolouration, cell cytotoxicity, difficulty of removal of organic biofilm from the root canal, development of sensitisation and antimicrobial resistance are still challenges to this line of treatment. This review critically discusses and challenges the current status quo of antimicrobials used in regenerative endodontics and sheds the light on future alternative antimicrobial materials with regenerative potential.
