Treatment of traumatized teeth with incomplete apex – apexification
Journal Title: RSBO - Year 2008, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction and objective: Two cases reports of traumatized teeth with incomplete apexes and no tooth fracture. Case report: In these cases, instrumentation should be performed with no pressure to the walls due to the decreased thickness, therefore, the irrigating solution is fundamental to achieve ideal biomechanical preparation. Calcium hydroxide intracanal dressings between sessions were applied at 7 days, 15 days, 3 changes every 30 days and a change after 3 months, until apical barrier formation, and sealing of the root canal with the singlegutta- percha point technique with Grossman’s cement. Conclusion: The used clinical protocol efficiently formed the calcified root barrier and biological and functional equilibrium was achieved guaranteeing the treatment success.
