Revascularization in Immature Permanent Teeth with Necrotic Pulp and Apical Pathology: Case Series

Figure 3

(a) Initial periapical radiograph: occlusal caries can be observed extending into the pulp chamber and radiotranslucency on the root apices. (b) A size 15 K-file is used to irritate the apical tissue and stimulate bleeding. (c) Completion of revascularization. (d) Follow-up periapical radiograph, 8 months after completion of revascularization. The periapical radiotranslucency has disappeared and the walls of the root canal have thickened; apical closure has still not taken place. This should occur at the following check-up.
