The Management of Open Apex Using a Bioactive Material: A Case Report.
Cureus(2024)
Abstract
The management of teeth with open apices poses unique challenges in endodontics, requiring effective strategies to promote continued root development and maintain pulp vitality. This abstract explores the utilization of bioactive materials in the treatment of open apices, specifically focusing on their role in achieving optimal outcomes. Bioactive materials, such as Biodentine (Septodont, Saint-Maur-des-Fossés, France), have gained prominence for their favourable physiochemical properties, biocompatibility, and ability to stimulate dentinogenesis. The application of a bioactive material as an apical plug not only addresses immediate concerns but also contributes to long-term health and stability. This abstract reviews relevant literature, discusses clinical cases, and emphasizes the importance of tailoring treatment plans to the individual characteristics of open apex cases. The findings underscore the promising role of bioactive materials in reshaping the landscape of endodontic interventions for teeth with open apices, highlighting their potential to enhance both clinical and radiographic success.
