Incomplete rhizogenesis, Calcium hidroxide, Apexification.Abstract
When there is the pulp necrosis in permanent teeth with open root apex, there is the need to induce the root development aiming to create a barrier of mineralized tissue at the apical third, making it easy, subsequently, definitive filling of the root canal. This technique is called apexification. The following work aimed to describe a successful treatment with calcium hydroxide at the 11 and 21 teeth, which suffered pulp necrosis after a trauma.Downloads
