ABSTRACT


Introduction: Regenerative Endodontics Is A Promising Alternative Treatment For Immature Teeth With Necrotic Pulps. The Present Study Was Performed To Evaluate Radiographically Revascularization-induced Maturogenesis Of Non-vital Immature Teeth Using Platelets Rich Plasma (PRP) Compared To Blood Clot As A Scaffold. Methods: Immature Necrotic Permanent Maxillary Central Incisors (n = 20) Of Patients 9-20years Old Were Divided Into 2 Groups: Blood Clot Group (control Group) And PRP Group (experimental Group). Follow-up Was Done At 6-12 Months Intervals. An Increase In Root Length And A Decrease In Root Canal Width Were Evaluated Radiographically.

Results: Both Groups Showed A Progressive Increase In Root Length And Decrease In Root Canal Width With Significant Difference Between The Two Groups.

Conclusions: Revascularization Is A Successful Procedure In Management Of Immature Necrotic Teeth Allowing An Increase In The Root Length And Thickness.
