maturogenesis of two maxillary central incisors: a case report with 10 years of follow up

this case report describes the treatment of two immature maxillary central incisors in a 7- year-old female patient. she suffered complicated crown fracture because of trauma, and the root formation was incomplete. white mineral trioxide aggregate (mta) was selected as the pulp-capping material after cervical pulpotomy to preserve the pulp tissue vitality and achieve maturogenesis. follow-up evaluations showed successful treatment in terms of preservation of pulp vitality and demonstrated marked continuous physiological root devel- opment. during 10 years of follow-up, both teeth were clinically asymptomatic, and radio- graphic evaluations showed apparent root regeneration with apical root-end closure without pulp or periapical pathosis.
