چکیده
OBJECTIVES Endodontic management of open apex using MTA and platelet - rich fibrin membrane as an apical matrix barrier. STUDY DESIGN An immature tooth with pulpal necrosis and periapical pathology imposes a great difficulty to the endodontist. Endodontic treatment options for such teeth consist of conventional apexification procedure with and without apical barriers. This article demonstrates the use of an apical matrix barrier in form of a platelet rich fibrin membrane for stabilization of MTA in root end apexification procedure. PRF is an autologous fibrin matrix containing a large quantity of platelet and leukocyte cytokines, which enhance healing by release of growth factors. These case reports present apexification and successful healing with combined use of MTA and PRF membrane as an apical barrier Results: PRF membrane can serve as an efficient apical matrix for condensation of MTA. Combination of PRF membrane and MTA is an effective method for management of difficult cases of open apex. PRF is a strong fibrin membrane enriched with platelet and growth factors that accelerate periapical healing. Key words:Apexification, apical barrier, platelet rich fibrin (PRF), mineral trioxide (MTA).

متن کاملManagement of a Traumatized Open Apex Tooth with a Combination of Mineral Trioxide Aggregate Apical Plug and Platelet-rich Fibrin Apical Matrix
The absence of a natural apical constriction in permanent tooth makes endodontic treatment a challenge. Traditionally, calcium hydroxide was used for inducing the formation of an apical barrier. Currently, mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) has shown promising results for apexification procedures. In an open apex, it is imperative to limit the MTA placement within the confines of the root canal f...

Treatment of a non vital tooth with necrotic pulp and immature apex is a great challenge to the clinician. In obturation for gutta-percha condensation, there should be an apical barrier to avoid extrusion of cements and gutta-percha into the apical area leading to periapical trauma. Apexification is a method which is used for treatment of such tooth with open apex. It is defined as “a method to...
