Apicoectomy Versus Apexification [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2015
The aim was to evaluate treatment outcomes after apicoectomy and apexification in adjacent non-vital maxillary central incisors with large periapical radiolucencies, in a 10-year-old boy.

Biological Matrix-Assisted Apexification: A Case Report Using PRF and MTA in Immature Necrotic Teeth. [PDF]

Case Rep Dent
It is challenging to treat an infected nonvital young permanent tooth endodontically because there is a lack of natural apical constriction. In order for the obturating material to be condensed, an apical barrier must be induced. Calcium hydroxide has historically been used to induce apexification.

Comparison of trabecular bone structure on periapical radiographs one year after apexification with MTA and regenerative endodontic treatment: a retrospective cohort study [PDF]

BMC Oral Health
Background This study aimed to evaluate and compare periapical healing by analyzing the architecture of post-treatment trabecular bone using fractal analysis (FA) following mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) apexification and regenerative endodontic ...

Two-Year Outcomes of Regenerative Therapy in an Immature Maxillary Molar With Periapical Abscess: A Case Report. [PDF]

Case Rep Dent
Trauma or caries in teeth with incomplete root formation can lead to pulp necrosis. Endodontic treatment in such cases requires specific clinical protocols that differ from conventional approaches due to the anatomical and developmental characteristics of immature teeth.

Non-Vital Decoronation of a Maxillary Central Incisor: A Case Report With 18 Months Follow-Up. [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
ABSTRACT In the present case, decoronation and root submergence of a necrotic maxillary central incisor were performed for a 13‐year‐old girl. The root canal was filled with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), which was covered with resin‐modified glass ionomer.

Apexification: the beginning of its end [PDF]

International Endodontic Journal, 2009
AbstractApexification is a procedure for treating and preserving immature permanent teeth that have lost pulp vitality. It contrasts apexogenesis in terms of its outcome in that apical maturation and normal root thickness cannot be obtained. Apexification has been a routine practice for such teeth for many decades, and despite a literature replete with

Comparison of mineral trioxide aggregate and calcium hydroxide for apexification of immature permanent teeth: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Journal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2016
Calcium hydroxide and mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) are used for inducing a calcific barrier at an open tooth root (apexification). The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of calcium hydroxide and MTA for apexification of immature ...

Stress in Immature Incisor Treated With Regenerative Endodontics or Restored With Bulk-Fill Resin Composite: A 2D Finite Element Analysis. [PDF]

Aust Endod J
ABSTRACT This study investigated the stress distribution on teeth undergoing regenerative endodontic treatment (RET) using two‐dimensional finite element analysis (2D FEA). Five 2D‐FEA models of immature incisors were developed, involving immediately after RET, models after RET varying root length and thickness: 10% increase in root length and root ...
