Long-term follow-ups of revascularized immature necrotic teeth: three case reports

摘要

Revascularization of immature necrotic teeth is a reliable treatment alternative to conventional apexogenesis or apexification. In case 1,a 12-year-old boy had his necrotic,immature mandibular left second premolar treated with a revascularization technique. At a 24-month follow-up,periapical radiolucency had disappeared and thickening of the root wall was observed. In cases 2 and 3,a 10-year-old boy had his necrotic,immature,bilateral mandibular second premolars treated with the same modality. At 48-month (in case 2) and 42-month (in case 3) follow-ups,loss of periapical radiolucencies and increases in the root wall thickness were also observed.
