Background: The traumatic injury of an immature permanent tooth can lead to the loss of pulp vitality and arrested root development. The present study assessed revascularization procedures for the management of traumatized permanent teeth. Materials & Methods: 50 immature, nonvital maxillary anterior teeth were subjected to revascularization. An IOPAR was taken at baseline record to compare with follow- up radiographs to be taken at intervals of every 6 months. Results: Out of 50 patients, males were 28 and females were 22. Narrowing of the wide apical opening was evident in 40 (80%). Thickening of apical dentinal walls was seen in 8 (16%) and lateral dentinal walls was evident in 20 (40%) of cases. Increased root length was observed in 32 (64%) of cases. Healing of periapical lesions was seen in 35 (70%). None of the cases presented with pain. Conclusion: Revascularization procedure was effective in management of immature permanent teeth. Key words: revascularization, Non vital, periapical pathology |
