Aim: To evaluate the clinical and radiological results of a revascularization treatment done in a nonvital, immature permanent tooth using the amniotic membrane.
Case Description: A 12-year-old boy reported with a complaint of pain in the lower left back tooth since 1 month due to dental caries. On clinical examination, the mandibular left second premolar was tender on percussion and discolored due to dental caries. Radiographic examination of the same tooth revealed open apex, thin root dentinal walls, and periodontal ligament widening. An access opening was prepared, necrotic pulp extirpated completely followed by thorough irrigation. After drying the canal, closed dressing with the 3-mix antibacterial paste was given for 15 days. After 15 days, the paste was removed and the amniotic membrane was placed inside the canal extending 1 mm beyond the apex and mineral tri-oxide aggregate was placed over this followed by sealing of the cavity. The patient was followed up at 1, 3, and 6 months for clinical and radiographic evaluation.
Conclusion: After 6 months, clinically the tooth found asymptomatic. Radiographic examination showed continued root elongation, closure in the periapical opening, thick root dentinal walls with narrowing of the canal space, and normal periradicular architecture.
Clinical Significance: Amniotic membrane can be used as a scaffold for revascularization in nonvital immature teeth.

Apexification is the process of forming mineralized tissue at the apical portion of a tooth with an incompletely formed root. Although various materials and techniques for the endodontic treatment of such teeth have been employed for some time, selecting the appropriate material remains challenging due to limited literature. This report presents a case that evaluates the efficacy of a modified apexification procedure using mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), followed by a walking-bleach technique to address discoloration resulting from trauma to anterior teeth.

Objective: Tooth bleaching procedures on nonvital teeth have been performed for crown discoloration caused by regenerative endodontic therapy (RET). However, leakage of bleaching agents across the root canal can be detrimental. This study aimed to assess and compare the penetration levels of hydrogen peroxide (HP) from different bleaching agents across calcium silicate-based coronal barriers in immature permanent teeth.

Article Synopsis
- The case report discusses an apexification procedure on a necrotic, infected tooth with an open apex, emphasizing the importance of disinfecting the canal for successful treatment.
- The patient, a 24-year-old man, had a maxillary central incisor affected by apical periodontitis due to a past injury, and the treatment involved the use of sodium hypochlorite, chlorhexidine, and calcium hydroxide dressing.
- Following the application of concentrated growth factor (CGF) as a stabilizing matrix, the tooth showed positive healing results after one year, suggesting CGF's potential as an effective scaffold in treating similar cases.

Department of Pediatric Dentistry and Dental Public Health, Faculty of Dentistry, Mansoura University, Mansoura, Egypt.
Aim: Clinical and radiographic evaluation of the efficacy of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and treated dentin matrix (TDM) in regenerative endodontic treatment and periapical healing of nonvital immature permanent teeth with chronic apical periodontitis.
Materials And Methods: Twenty-four children aged between 7 and 11 years, each presenting with a nonvital immature permanent upper central incisor, were selected. They were randomly allocated into two groups ( = 12), group I (PRF) and group II (TDM).
Regeneration of Pulp and Radicular Tissues in a Nonvital Avulsed Tooth with Open Apex: A Case Report.

Department of Dental Research Cell, Dr. D. Y. Patil Dental College and Hospital, Dr. D. Y. Patil Vidyapeeth (Deemed to be University), Pune, Maharashtra, India.
Aim And Background: The management of avulsed immature teeth poses a significant challenge to clinicians, as prolonged dry time before reimplantation may lead to replacement resorption or ankylosis.
Case Description: Recent studies have shown promising results with the use of an intracanal proprietary pharmaceutical preparation, followed by sealing of the orifice with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA). Angiography suggested the presence of vascularized tissue after 1 year, indicating successful regeneration of pulpal tissue in the radicular area.
