Apexification, apexogenesis and regenerative endodontic procedures : a review of the literature = Apecificazione, apicogenesi e procedure di rigenerazione endodontica : una revisione della letteratura / S. Corbella, G. Ferrara, A. El Kabbaney, S. Taschieri. - In: MINERVA STOMATOLOGICA. - ISSN 0026-4970. - 63:11/12(2014), pp. 375-389.
Abstract:
Aim of this paper was to present the therapeutical approaches to the management of the immature apex and discuss the evolution of materials and techniques.
METHODS:
A Medline search was performed limited to human studies published. The keywords searched were apexogenesis, apexification, pulp regeneration, revascularization.
RESULTS:
Apexogenesis and apexification techniques using Calcium hydroxide or MTA give a high succes rate. Recent regeneration procedures may be helpful for apexification in non vital elements.
CONCLUSION:
Calcium hydroxide is the gold standard material used in apexogenesis and apexification. New technologies are promoting the growing interest in strategies used for vitality preservation and pulp regeneration.
