Pulp Revascularization of an Immature Anterior tooth using Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF): A Pediatric Case Report

Abstract

Introduction: Revascularization is an alternative treatment for immature necrotic teeth, with biological basis. Unlike techniques of artificial apical barrier, it allows the continuation of root development and recovery of pulp vitality.
Objective: To present the importance of diagnosis and treatment plan, and present a treatment protocol that includes pulp revascularization, through a clinical case of an immature necrotic tooth.
Case report: After passive instrumentation of root canal walls and medication with triple antibiotic paste for sterilization PRF placed in the canal and over It MTA given. Coronal sealing was performed with composite resin.
Results: At 12- and 15-month follow-up, the tooth responded positively to thermal test, and similarly to adjacent lateral incisor and canine teeth. Radiographic examination demonstrated continued thickening of root canal walls, root lengthening and apical closure.
Conclusion: It was concluded that this treatment promotes thickening of dentin walls, preventing the tooth from being weakened.
