Management of necrotic immature permanent maxillary incisors using a modified technique of revascularisation

Abstract

The management of necrotic immature permanent teeth has always been a challenge to endodontists. Various treatment modalities have been tried and tested for achieving a successful outcome. Revascularisation is one among these treatment options, which is gaining widespread attention among endodontists. The growing body of evidence demonstrating the success of revascularisation has led to different variations of this treatment option. Clinicians have over time used different scaffolds such as blood clot, collagen, platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and platelet-rich plasma for revascularisation. This case report outlines the management of immature maxillary central incisors with pulp necrosis and large periapical lesions in a 19-year-old female patient with a modified technique of revascularisation by combining PRF and blood clot. At the end of 12 months, the patient was completely asymptomatic along with regression of the periapical lesions.
