Bioactive Closure of Non Vital Immature Tooth with Open Apices-A Contemporary Approach

Non vital immature teeth with open apex and thin dentinal walls are difficult to treat via conventional endodontic therapy. Calcium hydroxide has been conventionally used in such cases for a long time. However, due to its various shortcomings, MTA (Mineral Trioxide Aggregate) became the material of choice. A new bioactive dentin replacement material, Biodentine, can act as an ideal dentin substitute in such cases. This case report presents the use of Biodentine as an obturating, reinforcing and apexification material to restore traumatized teeth and re-establish patient’s aesthetics.
