“…These include: calcium hydroxide paste, calcium hydroxide powder; mixed with different vehicles,[1–3] tricalcium phosphate,[4] collagen calcium phosphate,[5] osteogenic protein-1, bone growth factor and oxidized cellulose. [6] proplast, (a polytetrafluor-ethylene and carbon felt-like porous material),[7] barium hydroxide,[8] true bovine bone ceramics,[9] and dentin chips. Antibacterial such as paste of metronidazole, ciprofloxacin, and cefaclor has effectively encouraged apexification.…”

Immature teeth with necrotic pulp and large periapical lesion are difficult to treat via conventional endodontic therapy. The role of materials such as calcium hydroxide and mineral trioxide aggregate in apexification is indispensable. This case report presents the successful healing and apexification with combined use of white mineral trioxide aggregate and demineralized freeze-dried bone allograft.

“…6 Several materials -including calcium hydroxide paste, calcium hydroxide powder and other alternatives -have been used in the past in an effort to create the apical barrier. [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] Attempts have also previously been made to utilize a mixture of materials and chemicals in an effort to stimulate apexification and natural root closure. 16 Ham et al (1972) treated immature pulpless teeth in monkeys by cleaning and shaping with endodontic instruments beyond the root apex in an effort to induce bleeding to allow the formation of a blood clot in the hope of stimulating natural root closure.…”

Apexification is defined as a method to induce a calcified barrier at the root tip of a tooth with an open apex or to encourage the continued apical development of an incomplete root in teeth with necrotic pulps. Two case reports are presented in which teeth with large open apices and immature roots were clinically managed by placing demineralised freeze-dried bone allograft (DFDBA) as a matrix before placement of Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) as an apical barrier. The indications for and advantages of using DFDBA and MTA are discussed.

“…Advantages of this technique include shorter treatment time, and development of a good apical seal. A number of materials have been proposed for this purpose including tricalcium phosphate, freeze dried bone, freeze-dried dentin, collagen calcium phosphate, proplast (a polytetrafluor-ethylene and carbon felt-like porous material), and mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) 8,9,10,11,12,13…”

Use of an apical plug in management of cases with open apices has gained popularity in recent years. Biodentine, a new calcium silicate-based material has recently been introduced as a dentine substitute, whenever original dentine is damaged. This case report describes single visit apexification in a maxillary central incisor with necrotic pulp and open apex using Biodentine as an apical barrier, and a synthetic collagen material as an internal matrix. Following canal cleaning and shaping, calcium hydroxide was placed as an intracanal medicament for 1 mon. This was followed by placement of small piece of absorbable collagen membrane beyond the root apex to serve as matrix. An apical plug of Biodentine of 5 mm thickness was placed against the matrix using pre-fitted hand pluggers. The remainder of canal was back-filled with thermoplasticized gutta-percha and access cavity was restored with composite resin followed by all-ceramic crown. One year follow-up revealed restored aesthetics and function, absence of clinical signs and symptoms, resolution of periapical rarefaction, and a thin layer of calcific tissue formed apical to the Biodentine barrier. The positive clinical outcome in this case is encouraging for the use of Biodentine as an apical plug in single visit apexification procedures.
