Apicification in teeth with incomplete rhizogenesis: an experience report

ABSTRACT

The endodontic treatment in immature teeth requires special attention due the fragility, thin dentin walls, wide rooth canal and open apex in this elements. In this cases, the conventional endodontic treatment becomes unviable, which lead to a procedure that has the goal by induce the formation of mineralized barrier by using biologically compatible materials with consistent characteristics, like calcium hydroxide, MTA and bioceramic cement (Bio C Repair), named by apexification. The objective of this research is to present a successful experience of endodontic treatment in an immature teeth with by using the technique apexification with combination of calcium hydroxide and Bio C Repair. It was concluded that the apexification treatment in immature teeths is viable, having clinical sucess with the combination of a correct cleaning and disinfection in the rooth, the use of good intracanal medication and the use of materials like calcium hydroxide and Bio C Repair, which will induce formation of mineralized apical barrier.
