ABSTRACT
Objectives: The purpose of the study was to examine efficacy of this
procedure in necrotic immature permanent teeth.
Methods: Forty patients were enrolled for pulp revascularization
procedure by disinfecting the root canal with triple antibiotics paste for one
to two weeks, followed by creating the blood clot, sealing the canal orifice
with mineral trioxide aggregate as sealing material. Patients were recalled
periodically for up to twenty four months.
Results: Clinical evaluations demonstrated no adverse effects, during
follow up 35 patients were asymptomatic, five cases of periapical periodontitis
showed disappearance of sinus tract, on radiographic assessment there was
progressive resolution of periapical radiolucency within first three-six
months, the electric pulp test on sixth week demonstrated positive response, on
radiographic evaluation there was progressive root length and thickness and
continued root growth on six –twelfth months.
Conclusion: Revascularization is a safe and efficacious method of dental
pulp regeneration in this study.
