Author(s): Esraa Jalal AlShareef*
Abstract
The main purpose of treating an immature tooth with an open apex is to maintain vitality and continuity of normal root formation. Vital pulp therapy is aimed at maintaining the pulp's vitality, and dentinogenic potential, inducing complete root growth, formation of reparative dentin, thicker radicular dentin, and apical closure. This article presents the successful apexogenesis of the permanent immature molar of a 7-year-old girl using mineral trioxide aggregate and sodium hypochlorite irrigation and followed up for 4 years.
