REGENERATIVE ENDODONTIC TREATMENT OF IMMATURE PERMANENT INCISORS FOLLOWING DENTAL TRAUMA: A REPORT OF 2 CASES

Immature permanent teeth damaged by caries or trauma can present a challenge to dentistry. recently a biologically based treatment called regenerative endodontic treatment was introduced. the purpose of this report was to present a case of pulp revascularization in immature, traumatized and necrotic teeth. an 6-year-old male presented with intruzed and subluxation to the permanent maxillary left and right central incisors, respectively. revascularization therapy was performed over multiple visits. at 24 months follow-up, healing of the periapical area and apexogenesis were found to be complete in right incisor. however, left incisor presented periapical lesion and root resorption. although with an increasing breadth of clinical evidence and practitioner acceptance, regenerative techniques may become a standard technique in treating subluxed immature necrotic permanent teeth, this treatment procedure is not useful for intruzed permanent teeth. on the other hand, further and long-term clinical researches are required.
