Apexification in an adult patient's tooth: a 9-year case report
Introduction: Immature permanent teeth with open apex can be challenging in endodontic treatment along with its restoration. Apexification is widely applied in teenager patients but rarely used in the adult population.

AbstractApexification is a method to induce a calcific barrier across an open apex of an immature, pulpless tooth. Apical closure occurs approximately three years after eruption. Traumatic injuries to young permanent teeth before root formation is complete commonly occur in children resulting in open apex.

Application of Biodentine for Apexification of Immature Teeth of Children: A Scoping Review. [PDF]
Aims and background Apexification induces calcified barrier formation to retain an immature necrotic permanent tooth. Treating these teeth is often challenging due to thin, fragile walls that are difficult to prepare effectively. Bioactive cement mineral

Regenerative Endodontic Treatment in an Immature Permanent Tooth With Necrotic Pulp and Periradicular Lesion. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Managing necrotic immature permanent teeth with an open apex presents a treatment challenge. Regenerative endodontic procedures have emerged as biologically based approaches for these cases, suggesting an alternative to conventional apexification. This report describes successful revascularization of an immature mandibular second premolar with

Histologic Assessment of a Fast-Set Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) and Two Novel Antibacterial-Enhanced Fast-Set MTAs for Apexification and Periapical Healing of Teeth With Incomplete Root Formation in a Rat Model: An In Vivo Animal Study [PDF]
Background Pulp necrosis in incomplete root formation halts dentine development, resulting in larger canals with fragile walls and an open apex, complicating canal instrumentation and apical stop formation.

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

Clinician Decision-Making for the Endodontic Treatment of Immature Permanent Teeth: A National Survey of Pediatric Dentists and Endodontists. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Evidence suggests that pediatric patients requiring endodontic treatment in the permanent dentition are often a “missed population”. Aim This study surveyed pediatric dentists and endodontists about the frequency with which they encounter pediatric patients requiring endodontic treatment, their training, practice patterns, and ...

Apexification with Calcium Hydroxide vs. Revascularization [PDF]
Treatment of necrotic immature teeth has always been a real challenge for the clinician due to the open apex and weak root structure, which does not allow a conventional endodontic treatment. Several therapeutic options are possible to treat those teeth.

Apexification and regeneration procedures in young permanent teeth
Management of necrotic young permanent teeth with incomplete root development represents a significant clinical challenge in pediatric dentistry due to open apices, thin dentinal walls, and increased susceptibility to fracture.
