Apexification or Regeneration? Repair in Endodontics

Abstract

Regenerative endodontics is a new concept for the management of the permanent immature teeth with necrotic pulps. This procedure enables to replace damaged dentine and pulp-dentin complex within the root structure with healthy tissue. Firstly, elimination of clinical symptoms of the infection then, thickening of the canal walls and continuing root maturation and finally filled with the host’s own vital tissue are the main goals of regenerative endodontics. However, apexification is another solution associated with traditional root canal treatment for the teeth with necrotic pulp and immature root development. It involves removal of necrotic and infected tissue from the wide and funnel shape of root canal in immature teeth. The purpose of this article is to review regenerative endodontics and apexification in conjunction within a case.
