Bluetooth is a short-ranged wireless mode of communication for computing devices. It was intended originally to replace cable connections for both mobile and stationed devices. And now, it is foreseen to go at par with Wireless Fidelity (WiFi). Bluetooth technology has yet to be established. Some of its implementation issues have not been clearly resolved. One aspect by which Bluetooth is hindered from being fully employed as wide network is in its capacity to remain intact and operational as it is partially destroyed (when a node leaves) and/or reconstructed (when a node joins) simultaneously. This is the property of regeneration or as it is more popularly known, healing . As this is an important issue with regards to ad hoc networking, little has been researched in lieu to healing. Though there are some that researches that explains the predicament, no in-depth studies have been made. Consequently, a deeper probing is necessary to before the actual realization of an ad hoc Bluetooth network. Keywords: Piconet, Scatternet, Ad-Hoc Network, Bluetooth, Healing.
