Regenerative Endodontic Treatment of a Maxillary Mature Premolar

Abstract EN

Regenerative endodontic treatment was performed on a mature maxillary premolar diagnosed as chronic pulpitis.

The root canals were chemomechanically prepared and placed intracanal medicaments at the first appointment.

Then 2 weeks later, a blood clot was created in the canals, over which mineral trioxide aggregate was placed.

At 6-month follow-up, cementum-like tissue seemed to be formed in the root canal along with nearly recovered pulp vitality.

At 12-month recall, the radiographic results revealed evidence of root wall thickening.

At 30-month recall, no periapical lesion was found.

This case report indicates that regenerative endodontic treatment for the mature premolar is feasible.

More cases are needed for further validation.
