REVASCULARISATION OF AN IMMATURE PERMANENT TOOTH USING PLATELET RICH FIBRIN AND BIODENTIN AS A MATRIX - A CASE REPORT
Any injury to the pulp during its development lead to cessation of dentin formation and root growth. Status of the pulp and root development are the decisive factors in the treatment approach. Various treatment options include surgery with rood end sealing, apexification using calcium hydroxide ,placement of apical plug and regenerative endodontic procedures to induce apexogenesis. This study describes the treatment of an immature permanent tooth which was treated with regenerative approach using 3% NaOCl and 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid as irrigants,and then medicated with triple antibiotic paste, after that platelet rich fibrin (PRF) and Biodentine were place in the canal. On follow up at 3 ,6,12 months healing of periapical lesion, dentinal thickening, and apical closure were evident. So, PRF can be used for the treatment of immature permanent teeth with periapical lesion, as part of a regenerative endodontic procedures.
