introduction: this case report describes apexogenesis treatment of three molar teeth of an 8-year-old boy using three different pulpotomy agents. methods: pulpotomy was performed on decayed immature molar teeth with established irreversible pulpitis and the remaining pulp was capped with either zinc oxide eugenol, proroot mineral trioxide aggregate or calcium-enriched mixture (cem) cement. teet...

Objective: to compare different protocols available for regenerative endodontic. Methodology: articles published between 2001 and 2021 were searched on the database PubMed using following keywords: “pulp revascularization” or revitalization” “apexification”. Inclusion criteria studies humans, patients with immature permanent teeth necrosis irreversible pulpitis, a follow-up of at least 12 month...

AIM To present a case where a traumatized, immature tooth still showed capacity for continued root development and apexogenesis after root canal treatment was initiated based on an inaccurate pulpal diagnosis. SUMMARY Traumatic dental injuries may result in endodontic complications. Treatment strategies for traumatized, immature teeth should aim at preserving pulp vitality to ensure further r...

This case report describes treatment of a necrotic immature permanent mandibular first molar with pulpal necrosis in 9-year old female with spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia. The coronal half of the root canal was debrided with a file #30 to remove necrotic tissue, and irrigated with chlorhexidine 0.12%. Bleeding was evoked to form an intracanal blood clot; the wound was then dressed with calcium hy...

The treatment of pulp in teeth with incomplete apex formation is still a clinical challenge. In addition to the most widely used medication for this purpose, calcium hydroxide, other materials have also been tested. Following the use of synthetic biomaterials for restoring bone tissue, and considering their recognized biocompatibility and bioconductivity, our intention was to explore the possib...

INTRODUCTION Open-apex teeth with irreversible pulpitis require complex and difficult treatment. Providing the right environment for apexogenesis and pulp protection is vital for their long term prognosis. The young pulp of open apex tooth, however, is better equipped against irritation and assault. The aim of this study was to evaluate pulp inflammation in open apex canine teeth of cats. MAT...

BACKGROUND The greatest threats to developing teeth are dental caries and traumatic injury. A primary goal of all restorative treatment is to maintain pulp vitality so that normal root development or apexogenesis can occur. If pulpal exposure occurs, then a pulpotomy procedure aims to preserve pulp vitality to allow for normal root development. Historically, calcium hydroxide has been the mater...

The long-term preservation of a permanent tooth is only possible if it has a proper crown-to-root ratio and the dentin walls are sufficiently stable to ensure normal function. After endodontic treatment of carious, young permanent teeth with not yet fully developed roots, apexogenesis and normal root development is only possible if the radicular part of the pulp remains intact.5 Also in this ca...
