  • Title: Apexification of wide-open apices in nonvital, immature permanent incisors: a case report.
    Author: Peretz B.
    Journal: Quintessence Int; 1993 Nov; 24(11):799-802. PubMed ID: 20830893.
    Abstract:
    Apexification is the accepted procedure to form an apical stop in nonvital teeth with incomplete root formation. A case is presented in which apexification with calcium hydroxide was performed on two permanent central incisors with immature roots and wide-open apices; treatment concluded with gutta-percha root canal restoration. Spontaneous apical seal had probably been initiated before the calcium hydroxide was inserted, but it was weak and nonhomogenous.
