<table>Strategies for regeneration of the dentin-pulp complex with three factors for tissue regeneration; growth factors, scaffolds, and cells (stem cells or progenitor cells). (a) Regeneration of the entire tooth. (b) Local regeneration of the dentin-pulp complex in the dentin defect area from residual dental pulp. (c) Local regeneration of dental pulp from apical dental pulp or periapical tissues.</table>
