COMPLEX PULP THERAPY
Apexication Risks andComplications
• Apexification has been successfully achieved using Ca(OH)2. Nevertheless, this procedure has several shortcomings. Ca(OH)2 apexification is associated with a high frequency of cervical root fractures (Cvek 1992; Andreason etal. 2006; Rosenberg etal. 2007). The frequency of fractures among immature teeth ranged from 77% in teeth with the least developed roots to 28% in teeth with the most developed roots. This is probably attributed to its hygroscopic and proteolytic properties which lead to desiccation of the dentin
The formation of an apical barrier may take
• between three and 24 months, and requires cooperation of the treated child and his or her parents. An alternative approach is a one visit
Self‐Study Questions
apexification which uses an artificial barrier placed at the apical portion of the canal, and enables the immediate obturation of the root canal with gutta‐percha. However, it has been reported that the MTA used for one visit apexification may have the same weakening effect as Ca(OH) (Duggal etal. 2017). Another disadvantage of the MTA is crown discoloration. This may be overcome by the use of Biodentine or EndoSequence (Huang 2009; Marconyak etal. 2016)
• Revascularization may be an alternative to apexification. This technique enables not only apical closure, but also elongation and thickening of the dentinal walls (Huang 2009). Although the results of this procedure are promising they are not predictable and further studies are needed (Banchs and Trope 2004; Chen etal. 2012; Galler2016)

Self‐Study Answers
1. The central incisor typically erupts at seven years of age and its root is completed three years later. Considering the fact that the trauma occurred nine months prior to the time she was referred to treatment (around age nine), the stage of root development is reasonable
2. Copious irrigation is performed carefully so as tonot pass solutions beyond the apex and to avoidthe risk of a cytotoxic effect on periapical tissues

Dental Exam
• Minimal plaque
• Caries free
• First permanent molars with amalgam restorations
• The maxillary right permanent central incisor had a temporary filling covering the lingual surface access
I. Diagnostic Tools
• Periapical radiograph of the maxillary right permanent central incisor (Figure3.8.2) showed temporary filling, wide root canal with thin walls, immature tooth with open apex, round radiolucent periapical area (Figure3.8.2, arrow) surrounded by a radiopaque zone
• Clinical examination showed: temporary filling; 2 mm pocket; physiologic mobility; no sensitivity to percussion, electric pulp test (EPT) and cold test; slight tenderness on palpation; no sinus tract; no swelling
J. Differential Diagnosis
• Remnants of the dental sac
• Periapical true cyst
• Non‐odontogenic lesion
K. Diagnosis andProblem List
Diagnosis
• Immature tooth with asymptomatic apical periodontitis
Figure 3.8.2 Periapical radiograph of the maxillary right permanent central incisor (arrow at radiolucent area).
Problem List
Difficult to establish correct working length in
• immature teeth
• Risky to file a tooth with thin root canal walls
• Obturation of a tooth with wide open apex may result in overfilling
• Cold test and EPT are unreliable in immature teeth
• Difficult to differentiate between the radiographic appearance of a dental sac and chronic apical periodontitis
BACKGROUND INFORMATION 1
Mineral Trioxide Aggregate
• Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) is a powder that consists of hydrophilic particles which set in the presence of moisture; it reacts with tissue fluids to form a hard tissue apical barrier
• MTA is the first restorative material that consistently allows overgrowth of cementum and itmay facilitate the regeneration of the periodontalligament (Torabinejad etal. 1997; Schwartz etal. 1999)
• The use of MTA requires only one or two visits to complete the apexification, depending on the type of MTA used (Duggal etal. 2017)
122 Clinical Cases inPediatric Dentistry
• A drawback to the use of MTA is the potential to cause coronal discoloration of the crown. However, there are alternative materials that can be used for an apical plug, especially when esthetics is a concern. Bioceramic materials, such as Biodentine® or EndoSequence™, stain the teeth to a lesser extent than MTA and are also osteoconductive (Cheng etal. 2010; Mozynska etal. 2017). In addition, an apical matrix can be placed in order to limit the extension of the apical plug beyond the borders of the root canals (Yadav etal. 2015)
• Obturation of the root canal can be performed with a vertical condensation of warm gutta‐percha in the remainder of the canal
t.me/Dr_Mouayyad_AlbtousH
L. Comprehensive Treatment Plan
https://t.me/medicina_free
• Explain to the parents the difficulties in treating an immature permanent tooth
• Establish an apical barrier with MTA, followed by RCT and the final restoration
• Follow‐up care should include:
Immediate postoperative and home care instructions after each appointment Recall after one year, followed by yearly clinical and radiographic examination for five years
Dental Treatment
• First appointment:
Local anesthesia, rubber dam, and removal of the temporary filling Working length established using a radiograph in conjunction with the paper point method Copious irrigation with 0.5% chlorhexidine, followed by minimal mechanical instrumentation of the root canal walls and additional irrigation with ultrasonic activation Because there was no apical stop, a Ca(OH)2 paste was placed using a syringe with a small‐gauge needle, followed by an intermediate restorative material temporary filling
• Second appointment, two weeks later:
Copious irrigation with 0.5% chlorhexidine Apical barrier created with MTA Wet paper point and wet cotton pellet placed over the MTA plug followed by a temporary filling (Figure3.8.3)
COMPLEX PULP THERAPY
Figure 3.8.4 Radiograph showing obturation of the root canal.
Third appointment, one week later:
• Setting of the MTA plug verified Root canal space irrigated with 0.5% chlorhexidine and dried Canal was obturated with warm injectable gutta‐ percha (Figure3.8.4) Coronal access sealed with temporary restoration Patient referred back to dentist for final restoration
M. Clinical andRadiographic Follow‐Up
• The tooth is asymptomatic and functional 12 months
postoperatively (Figure3.8.5). The size of the periapi­cal radiolucency diminished; full healing is expected

FUNDAMENTAL POINT 1
Calcium Hydroxide vs. Mineral Trioxide Aggregate
• In comparison to Ca(OH)2 apexification, apical closure with MTA is more predictable along with reduction in treatment time, number of appointments, and radiographs. The tooth can be restored with minimal delay, preventing the risk of root fracture and reinfection. There is a growing body of evidence to suggest the recommendation of MTA, instead of Ca(OH)2, for apexification in traumatized anterior teeth (Duggal 2017)
N. Prognosis andDiscussion
• Due to their thin dentinal walls, these teeth are prone to fracture. Therefore, a mouth guard is suggested to decrease the risk of injury in risky situations (sports, biking, etc.). Nonetheless, the parents and the patient should bear in mind that this tooth may be lost in the future
O.
Common Complications andAlternative
Treatment Plans
Common Complications
• After apexification, the immature root is short and the crown : root ratio is not favorable. Post placement (ifneeded) is difficult due to the size and irregular shape of the root canal, and placement of a permanent crown should be delayed due to the patient’s continuous growth and maturing of the gingival tissues
Alternative Treatment Plans
• Apexification with Ca(OH)
2
• Revascularization may be considered as another option, especially when the root canal walls are very thin, and the tooth is in an earlier stage of development. The procedure involves two steps, the initial step is disinfection of the root canal using a triple antibiotic paste. In the second step, bleeding is induced from the apical tissues and allowed to fill the root canal in order to serve as a scaffold for stem cells, which will enable the continued maturation of the root (Banchs and Trope 2004; Diogenes and Ruparel 2017). Although results are promising for revascularization of traumatized necrotic immature teeth, root maturation may still be inconsistent (Saoudetal. 2014)

Self‐Study Answers
1. Immature teeth have a wide‐open apex; therefore, it is impossible to seal the root canal without overfilling beyond the apex. Furthermore, if filled with Ca(OH)2 these teeth are more prone to fracture
2. The exact position of the biologic apex in teeth with a blunderbuss apex is not apparent. It is advisable to use a paper point to measure the exact length of the root canal. Bleeding at the end of the paper point or a wet paper point indicates overextension

However, in cases of VRF the most common symptoms are swelling, sinus tract, and a local narrow periodontal pocket. Because these symptoms were not found, the most probable diagnosis is asymptomatic apical periodontitis
FUNDAMENTAL POINT 1
Denitions
• Asymptomatic apical periodontitis: inflammation and destruction of apical periodontium that isofpulpal origin, appears as an apical radiolucentarea, and does not produce clinicalsymptoms
• VRF: a fracture in the root whereby the fractured segments are incompletely separated; it may occur buccal‐lingually or mesial‐distally; it maycause an isolated periodontal defect(s) or sinus tract; it may or may not be radiographically evident
(American Association of Endodontists, 2015)
