Proper management of the open root apex can prove challenging to even the most experienced practitioners. Preventing and even reversing necrosis in immature roots allows for continued tooth development and retention. Using innovative materials and procedures, you will explore the protocols for endodontic revascularization and apexification.

Learning Objectives:

  • Grasp the challenges associated with managing open root apices in permanent teeth
  • Develop the skills to perform revascularization techniques to reverse necrosis in immature roots, fostering continued tooth development and retention
  • Explore new materials and updated procedures to construct apical barriers used in apexification procedures
