ABSTRACT
Introduction and Aim:
Performing endodontic treatment in an immature permanent tooth that has experienced trauma or carious exposure can pose challenges. The root canals in these teeth are typically open and fragile, making instrumentation and obturation difficult. Traditional apexification, which involves placing calcium hydroxide paste in the root canal for a specified period to induce the formation of a calcified barrier, has been a long-standing approach. While it is a widely used method, leaving the paste in the root for extended periods can weaken it due to the paste's hygroscopic properties and the proteolytic activities of calcium hydroxide. As a result, researchers have been exploring alternative treatments that allow for the full development of immature teeth. Revascularization has emerged as one such alternative, with a variety of treatment protocols documented in scientific literature. Description of the Case This case report, for the first time, describes the use of NeoPutty MTA® and triple antibiotics paste for revascularization in a young female child on a carious, exposed lateral incisor with opex apex with success.Conclusion:
The revascularization process attempted on the infected tooth met with success and closure of apex was noticed in a short period of time.
