Regenerative endodontics after front tooth trauma. A case report

Regenerative endodontics after front tooth trauma. A case report Swiss Dent J. 2018 May 14;128(5):393-399 Authors: Bassetti R, Kuttenberger J, Bassetti M Abstract In the context of tooth trauma, mostly the maxillary central front teeth are involved, whereby their roots are in some cases still in the developing stage (immature). Depending on the type of trauma, a necrosis of the pulp is the consequence or at least foreseeable. In order to preserve such a tooth, an endodontic therapy is inevitable. The disadvantage of conventional endodontic therapy methods of immature teeth (apexification, apexogenesis) is the root growth stop. Alternatively, the regeneration/revascularisation of the dental pulp (RP) was suggested, that allows a further root growth. The aim of this case report is to present the procedure of a RP-therapy and to suggest a step-by-step manual. PMID: 29734801 [PubMed - in process]
