Abstract

Injuries to immature permanent teeth may cause pulp necrosis. Conventional treatment for such teeth is root canal treatment and apexification, but recently a new treatment option of revascularization has been introduced, also known as regenerative endodontic treatment. This study compared the treatment outcome of apexification and pulp revascularization in immature necrotic teeth. All the patients were treated, and data were acquired from the dental outpatient department of Shahida Islam Medical and Dental College, Lodhran, between November 15, 2021, to November 14, 2022, duration. To complete this research, Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial was used as a study design to collect the patients, later divided into two groups. Means age of all the patients in this study was 11.41 ± 4.20 years; the mean age of the patients in Group A=11.50 ± 4.24 years and Group B=11.32 ± 4.26 years. The success rate in Group A= 60 (87.32%) was lower than that of Group B= 67 (97.04%). The results of this study revealed that pulp revascularization has a higher success rate than apexification by mineral trioxide aggregate.
