The stage of root development influences the type of treatment rendered. Procedures routinely undertaken on a fully developed tooth are not always possible on a tooth that is only partially developed. Pulp capping, shallow or deep pulpotomy is performed in a tooth with vital pulp and open apex. Apexification, apical barrier plug, autotransplantation, pulp regeneration and possibly bioengineered tooth replacement are performed for a tooth with a necrotic pulp and open apex.
The diagnosis, treatment planning and case selection will be discussed. History for various techniques of management, materials used, and clinical, radiographic and histological outcomes of these treatments also will be presented.
