Clinical and Radiographic Evaluation of Biodentine in Revascularization of Non-Vital Immature Teeth

Objective: To assess clinically and radiographically the effect of using two types of coronal plug materials in revascularization of non-vital immature teeth.

Methods: A total of 26 necrotic immature permanent anterior teeth were enrolled for pulp revascularization using a double antibiotic mix for root canal disinfection. They were randomly divided into two groups based on the coronal plug materials used: Biodentine (Group I) and white Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (Group II; n = 13). Clinical and radiographic assessments were performed after 3, 6, 9, and 12 months.

Results: The study found no statistically significant difference in the overall clinical successes and percentage of increase in root length between the two groups (P > 0.05). However, there was a significant difference in the distribution of discoloration between the two groups, with one case reported in Group I and seven cases in Group II (P = 0.01).
