Apexification is a process in which a calcified barrier is formed at the apex of a non-vital tooth whose root is not completed or opened from the apex....
It is a procedure done in immature permanent teeth with necrotic pulp where the root apex is not closed.Conventional root canal therapy followed by placement of non setting calcium hydroxide or mineral trioxide aggregate into the canal for a period of time until a calcific bridge is formed at the apex .Once the apex is closed obturation of canal with permanent material is done.
It is the treatment of a vital pulp by capping or pulpotomy in order to permit continued growth of the root and closure of the open apex.
It is one of treatment options of immature permanent teeth ( open ape) with necrotic pulp in which the canals filled with non setting calcium hydroxide or mineral trioxide aggregate after proper cleaning and shaping. The aim of this procedure to allow a calcific bridge to be formed aganist which obturation of canal can be done.
Is the treatment for non vital tooth till complete root formation
it's a dental treatment procudere done on immature tooth (specially first molair) to continue it's growth (fermeture of the root apex ) after getting infected and the pulp is necrotic. It's done with CA(OH)2 or MTA which is renewed every month till the apex fermeture.
Pulp therapy performed to encourage continued physiological development and formation of the root end by the use of calcium hydroxide and now a days MTA is being used.
It is a procedure performed in immature non-vital tooth in which a suitable material is placed in the root canal which aids in the formation of calcific barrier at the apical end acting as a natural seal
Apexification is a procedure performed in a non - vital tooth with immature root apex in order to obtain a calcific barrier at the root end and hence facilitate root canal obturation.
It is a pulp therapy that induce the formation of a calcified barrier at the apex of a non vital permanent tooth , by using different materials like calcium hydroxide or MTA
