Abstract

Teeth with incomplete apical development or with a wide apex (unformed apex) have the etiology of complicated dental caries or a trauma with pulp exposure and periapex damage, before the root is fully matured. Two male patients aged 9 and 7 years old with history of carious pathology and dental trauma were selected for the apexification procedure. Apexification produced consistent results in the treatment of immature teeth with pulp necrosis and apical periodontitis.
