“…In this study, the patient was 9 and 12 years old. As immature permanent teeth do not respond to pulp tests reliably 20) , a pulp test for diagnosis has not . In this study, one case was symptomatic, but the results showed that apexogenesis treatment can provide successful outcomes if the correct technique and appropriate biomaterials are used.…”

120Preserving the pulp is important in the treatment of carious pulp exposure in young permanent teeth.Pulpotomy is a vital pulp therapy in which a portion of the coronal pulp tissue is surgically removed, and the remaining radicular tissue is covered with suitable material that protects the pulp from further injury and permits and promotes healing. It is important to develop biocompatible treatment directed at maintaining pulp vitality and increasing tooth longevity. Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) has been referred to as a second-generation platelet concentrate.Two clinical cases in which PRF was applied as a medicament after pulpotomy of an immature permanent tooth are presented. After isolation, caries removal and pulpotomy with PRF was performed. A layer of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) was placed over the PRF, and the final restoration was performed. Postoperatively, the patient had no pain or discomfort, and follow-up radiographs revealed normal periodontal ligament space and trabecular bone pattern.

“…If at this stage hemorrhage still persists, one should check for remaining pulpal tissue tags and remove them immediately to attain hemostasis. 23 To achieve this hemostasis, the use of a cotton pellet soaked with 1.25%–6% NaOCl is recommended for 1 min. 7 The NaOCl would dissolve any extrapulpal blood clot present between the wound surface and the medicament that interferes with healing.…”

“… 32 MTA should be mixed with sterile water as per the manufacturer’s recommendation on a clean sterile glass slab and a spatula. 23 The final mix should have a wet, sand-like consistency. 15 Pressing the MTA to the walls and floor of the pulp chamber with a cotton wool pellet moistened in sterile water: Once the MTA is mixed, the cotton pellet, placed within the pulp chamber, should be removed and the MTA mix carried into it using an excavator, a retrograde amalgam carrier 23 or a Dovgan carrier.…”

This narrative aims at reviewing the available literature for mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) pulpotomy to understand the procedure better and eventually improve the clinical and radiographic outcomes. An electronic search was conducted in PubMed, Cochrane, ScienceDirect and ClinicalKey databases with the following keywords: MTA pulpotomy, clinical outcomes, radiographic outcomes, primary teeth. No specific inclusion or exclusion criteria were applied as to what articles would be included in this review. The time period for the search began from 2001 with respect to MTA pulpotomy. However, this was not restrictive during the search. MTA pulpotomy has been a successful treatment modality in primary molars with proven success over the years. There is limited literature to support its success in primary incisors.

“…It is difficult to obtain an appropriate apical seal in these teeth by using the conventional obturation methods. Furthermore, thin root canal walls make the teeth susceptible to future fractures 8. Several different clinical methods have been used to treat these teeth, such as long-term calcium hydroxide apexification and one-visit apexification (use of a material to create an artificial barrier).…”

Apexogenesis and revascularization treatment procedures for two traumatized immature permanent maxillary incisors: a case report

2013

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Traumatic injuries to an immature permanent tooth may result in cessation of dentin deposition and root maturation. Endodontic treatment is often complicated in premature tooth with an uncertain prognosis. This article describes successful treatment of two traumatized maxillary central incisors with complicated crown fracture three months after trauma. The radiographic examination showed immature roots in maxillary central incisors of a 9-year-old boy with a radiolucent lesion adjacent to the right central incisor. Apexogenesis was performed for the left central incisor and revascularization treatment was considered for the right one. In 18-month clinical and radiographic follow-up both teeth were asymptomatic, roots continued to develop, and periapical radiolucency of the right central incisor healed. Considering the root development of these contralateral teeth it can be concluded that revascularization is an appropriate treatment method in immature necrotic teeth.
