European Society of Endodontology.http://hdl.handle.net/11268/11870The complete formation of a permanent tooth occurs 3 years after its eruption in the mouth. The formation can be altered for various reasons, preventing a complete maturation. Therefore, it is critical for the patient to receive an accurate diagnosis as soon as possible. The presence of open apex is a challenge for the clinician. Therapeutic options include apexification, inducing the formation of an artificial barrier by placing a biocompatible material. We are dealing with a patient who came for an appointment due to inflammation in the upper anterior region. After diagnostic tests, we found involvement in several teeth; tooth 12: Pulp necrosis with symptomatic apical periodontitis; tooth 11: Pulp necrosis with symptomatic apical periodontitis and tooth 21: previously treated with symptomatic apical periodontitis. As they presented different apical diameter, root canal treatment was chosen for tooth 12, and apexification for tooth 11 and 21.engEndodonciaEnfermedades periapicalesÁpice del dienteconference outputrestricted accessOdontologíaCirugía
