Abstract:
Treatment of carious or traumatized teeth with open apex is usually a challenge to a dentist. Recently, some case reports have shown that revascularization process induced maturogenesis of immature non-vital teeth. This case report describes the successful revascularization process of an immature central incisor. The upper left central incisor of 14-year-old boy was treated by revascularization process induced maturogenesis procedures. The tooth was symptomatic and caused a mucogingival swelling before the treatment. 3 years follow-up radiographs show a root elongation and an apical closure in the tooth treated with revascularization process. Revascularization procedure induced maturogenesis have several advantages over conventional apexification procedure.
