Objective: The purpose of this article was to observe the effect of Vitapex Paste in apexilication.
Methods: 64 younger permanent teeth with underdeveloped apex and necrotic pulp were randomly selected. After root canals were prepared and sterilized, Vitapex paste was used in the apexification. All the teeth were observed for three years.
Results: 24 teeth (37.5%) were successful, 37 teeth (57.81%) were progressive, 3 teeth (4.69%) were failed. Altogether 61 teeth were effective, the effective rate was 95.31%.
Conclusion: Vitapex paste was effective for the younger permanent teeth in the apexification.

Premature loss of root canal-treated primary teeth has long been a concern in dentistry. To address this, researchers developed a sodium iodide-based root canal-filling material as an alternative to traditional iodoform-based materials. The goal of this study was to improve the physicochemical properties of the sodium iodide-based material to meet clinical use standards.

Objective: This study was designed to determine the efficacy of minocycline hydrochloride ointment (MHO) combined with Vitapex paste on middle-aged and elderly patients with combined periodontal-endodontic lesions (CPELs) and its effect on the inflammatory factors.
Methods: The data of 88 elderly patients with CPELs treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of Gannan Medical University from March 2020 to March 2022 were analyzed retrospectively. Among them, the patients treated with MHO and iodoform zinc oxide clove oil paste were assigned into the control group (n = 42) and the rest of the patients treated by MHO and Vitapex paste were assigned to the study group (n = 46).
In Vivo Assessment of the Calcium Salt-Forming Ability of a New Calcium Silicate-Based Intracanal Medicament: Bio-C Temp.

Calcium salt precipitation induced by intracanal medicaments contributes to the formation of apical hard tissue during apexification. This study compared the calcium salt-forming ability of a new calcium silicate-based intracanal medicament (Bio-C Temp) with that of two commercial calcium hydroxide pastes (Calcipex Plane II and Vitapex) in a rat subcutaneous implantation model. Polytetrafluoroethylene tubes containing each of the three materials were subcutaneously implanted in 4-week-old male Wistar rats.

The root canals of human single-rooted teeth were prepared and obturated with Vitapex paste. After 2 weeks, the 48 teeth were randomly allocated into four groups: conventional needle irrigation (CNI) group, passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI) group, sonic irrigation (SI) group and XP-endo Finisher (XP) group.
