Popis: Management of non-vital immature anterior permanent teeth in children remains a challenge in paediatric dentistry and endodontics. Once the tooth becomes non-vital, root development ceases, rendering the tooth weak, and unable to withstand physiological forces of mastication. This results in a high rate of root fracture with poor prognosis in the medium to long term. Despite being endodontically treated, over 50 % of such teeth will be lost in the first 10 years following trauma. Traditional endodontic treatment does not contribute to any quantitative or qualitative increase in root dimensions resulting in life-long oral disability. The advancement in the science of Endodontics - Regenerative Endodontics has revolutionized current treatment strategies in treating the immature non-vital permanent tooth which has overcome the drawbacks of traditional treatment approaches. This report provides an insight view on successful maturogenesis of immature non-vital permanent incisors by induction of intracanal bleeding along with complications endured during the process. Regenerative endodontics is defined as “biologically based procedures designed to replace damaged structures, including dentin and root structures, as well as cells of the pulp - dentin complex”.1 Continued root development and reestablishment of pulp - dentine complex can be achieved by these procedures. Two major concepts in the regenerative endodontics are guided tissue regeneration (GTR) and tissue engineering. The base of these procedures is stem cells which can differentiate into the desired tissue component, growth factors or other tissue - inducing mediators and scaffold.2 Regenerative endodontic procedure (REP) includes induction of intracanal bleeding, placement of platelet rich fibrin (PRF), and platelet rich plasma (PRP). The goals of these procedures were elimination of signs and symptoms, continued root development, apical healing, and positive response to vitality testing. But preparation of PRP and PRF requires withdrawal of blood and sight of syringe can add emotional stress to young patients. Revascularization may be defined as the invagination of undifferentiated periodontal cells from the apical region in immature teeth.3,4 The nature of tissue formed after revascularization is not certain and can be confirmed by histological evaluation. Presence of blood supply is reliable. Revascularization considers only one facet - nature of newly formed tissue thus making term revascularization inaccurate and thus many authors disagreed with this term.5
