In immature teeth, apexification once only produced occassionally ‐ can now be induced in most cases by the use of calcium hydroxide paste. The different types of apices produced are presented in this paper and warning is given as to the young, very immature tooth where apexification may occur, but will leave the tooth with a very poor prognosis.
