The development of transcriptomics of individual cells has revealed cellular diversity and complex regulatory interactions during pulp injury and recovery. Recent animal studies and clinical molecular investigations have revealed that miRNAs bound to exosomes and circRNA-mediated regulatory circuits can improve pulp\u2013dentin regeneration and also function as diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic objective.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>ncRNAs serve as an essential regulatory tier in regenerative endodontics that connects molecular biology into clinical translational.
