Clinical and radiographic evaluation of MTA Apexification, Revascularization and Regenerative Endodontics using PRF: A Comparative Study
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 6
Abstract
Introduction: Dental trauma has become more prevalent in the present world owing to increase in spending time outdoors and active participation in sports activities. However, trauma to teeth, especially anterior teeth which renders them non vital before their root growth is complete poses a special challenge in their treatment. Apexification is the treatment of choice because of its shorter treatment duration and high success rates. But, Apexification doesn’t improve the poor crown root ratio in such cases and the tooth remains susceptible to fracture. Regenerative Endodontic procedures in the past decade have shown us that the root growth can be achieved even after the loss of tooth vitality. Materials And Methodology: This study was done in children aged 8 to 12 years with the aim to comparatively evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of the treatment of non-vital immature permanent anterior teeth by Regenerative Endodontics using PRF, Revascularization and MTA Apexification with a regular follow up of 3, 6 and 9 months. Result: The clinical results in all the three groups came out to be successful. Radiographically, a few teeth showed increase in length and width of the root, but the result came out to be statistically insignificant. However, all the teeth which were treated survived which otherwise would have been lost. Conclusion: Regenerative endodontic procedures should be attempted in non vital immature teeth where conventional apexification or root canal treatment is not possible.
