Regenerative endodontic procedures (REPs) were initially designed to treat young, immature teeth. Organisations commonly endorse REP as a valid treatment for non-vital immature teeth. Despite its effectiveness, general dentists often lack exposure to REPs during their training, leading to limited awareness of the procedure. This knowledge gap amongst general dentists and specialists can result in misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment of REP-treated teeth years after the initial procedure. Therefore, we present two cases in which the misdiagnosis of long-term successful REP-treated teeth led to improper treatment, causing iatrogenic damage to long-standing successful REP-treated teeth. To mitigate such risks, we propose introducing a treatment identification card that briefly describes the REP treatment and recommendations for further treatments.
