Abstract

Regenerative endodontic is a treatment procedure that promotes the apexogenesis of a necrotic immature permanent tooth. This case report presents the successful management of a 9-year-old anxious Malay male patient with a necrotic, immature maxillary right central incisor via a regenerative endodontic technique. The root canal was not mechanically cleaned during the treatment period but was irrigated with normal saline. The calcium hydroxide compound was used for disinfection without inducing blood clot formation. A clinical and radiographic follow-up was performed for thirty-six months where the tooth was considered asymptomatic, vital, and with a complete root formation.
