Abstract:

Endodontic treatments have always been considered as one of the most significant and premiere methods of maintaining the normal functions of the teeth which have been affected by diverse types and classes of pathogens and maladies particularly when they enter the coronal and radicular pulp spaces and involve the pulpal tissue in various degrees. Root canal therapy has also shown its important role in the treatment of teeth with openâ??apices where, for different reasons, such as trauma, infectious diseases and so forth, the affected tooth loses its vitality and thus, its ability to mature properly, leaving the apical foramen open. For many years, so as to deal with such circumstances and their consequences, apexification (and calcium hydroxideâ??as a canal medication) was used, however, side effects such as immature & short roots, thin dentinal walls and lack of proper matrix for a subsequent successful root canal treatment were observed. As a result, and in order to overcome the said problems, in recent years, new concepts regarding regeneration and revascularization of pulp tissue with the use of new drug system have been taken into account, setting light to the future of openâ??apex teeth treatment. In these modern methods of endodontic therapy, new points in canal instrumentation next to using other medications have been paid attention to. Related studies have also revealed successful results, fewer side effects and better prognosis in the aforementioned new therapy in comparison with apexification.
