Pulp Revascularization of a Traumatized Immature Maxillary Permanent Central Tooth: A Case Report

Traumatic injuries that occur in immature permanent teeth may cause dentin accumulation and stop root maturation. Endodontic treatment of immature teeth often has a complex and ambiguous prognosis. In this case report, pulp revascularization of the left central incisor of the maxilla with complicated crown fracture as a result of a truma was explained. One day after the trauma, the patient was admitted to our clinic with an uncomplicated crown fracture in the right central incisor and a complicated crown fracture in the left central incisor. The broken piece of the left central teeht was kept in the milk and brought to the clinic. On radiological examination, it was determined that the root tip of the central teeth was open. Composite restoration for the right central incisor and revascularization therapy for the left central incisor were planned and implemented. At 18 months of clinical and radiological follow-up, both teeth were asymptomatic and their roots continued to develop. In immature teeth, revascularization therapy can be considered as an advantageous endodontic treatment method in terms of continuing root development compared to apexification treatment.
