During root development, if tooth is subjected to trauma or caries, it results in tooth with immature and open root apices. The primary factor affecting the success of endodontics is achievement of perfect apical seal. Apexification is done to achieve an apical barrier against which the obturating material can be condensed. Various treatment modalities are used to treat immature open root apices. In the following case reports, apexification using different treatment modalities and both traditional and newer biomaterials have been explained.
