ABSTRACT
This study compares the clinical success rate and continued radiographic root development of apexification and regenerative endodontic procedure in traumatised immature permanent teeth, and proposes a method to evaluate apical convergence, namely apical angle. Clinical and radiological data were collected from 44 treated teeth (22 with apexification and 22 with regenerative endodontic procedure). The preoperative and follow-up periapical radiographs were analysed to calculate the percentage changes in root length, root width, apical diameter and apical angle. The success rates for complete healing with apexification and regenerative endodontic procedure were 86.36% and 95.45%, respectively. Radiographically, regenerative endodontic procedure showed significantly greater percentage changes in root width only (P < 0.05). Apexification and regenerative endodontic procedure provide satisfactory outcomes concerning clinical success rates. Continued root development in regenerative endodontic procedure was similar to apexification, except for root width. Apical angle allowed us to assess the convergence of the root canal walls.
