Abstract

The endodontic treatment in immature teeth requires special attention due the fragility, thin dentin walls, wide rooth canal and open apex in this elements. In this cases, the conventional endodontic treatment becomes
unviable, which lead to a procedure that has the goal by induce the formation of mineralized barrier by using
biologically compatible materials with consistent characteristics, like calcium hydroxide, MTA and bioceramic
cement (Bio C Repair), named by apexifi cation. The objective of this research is to present a successful experience
of endodontic treatment in an immature teeth with by using the technique apexifi cation with combination of calcium hydroxide and Bio C Repair. It was concluded that the apexifi cation treatment in immature teeths is viable, having clinical sucess with the combination of a correct cleaning and disinfection in the rooth, the use of good intracanal medication and the use of materials like calcium hydroxide and Bio C Repair, which will induce formation of mineralized apical barrier.
