Introduction: The immature root with a necrotic pulp and apical periodontitis presents multiple challenges to successful treatment. These challenges are overcome by using a disinfection protocol that does include minimal root canal instrumentation, stimulating the formation of a hard tissue barrier or providing an artificial apical barrier to allow for optimal filling of the canal, and reinforcing the weakened root against fracture during and after an apical stop is provided. Materials and Methods: The present pilot clinical study was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of revascularization in 25 cases of infected, immature teeth. Endodontic treatment was initiated, and after infection control, revascularization was performed. The access cavity was sealed with composite resin. The cases were followed up at regular intervals of 3 months and 6 months. Results: Overall, the response to revascularization procedure could be rated as very satisfactory. Conclusion: Although current treatment modalities offer a high rate of success, an ideal form of therapy should aim at regenerating the diseased pulp tissue rather than devitalizing it. Stem cells are considered most valuable for regeneration. A multidisciplinary approach is required for making this treatment modality a success. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
