Abstract The present study was conducted to assess the clinical and radiographic success of revascularization approach against the gold standard, well-established apexification and apical plug techniques on management of immature permanent teeth with necrotic pulp and periapical pathosis. The selected subjects were divided randomly into two main groups: group A were treated with regeneration (revascularization) technique and were further subdivided into two subgroups according to the material that was placed MTA or Ca(OH)₂. While group B were treated with apexification technique and were further subdivided into two subgroups according to the filling material that was placed MTA or Ca(OH₂. The clinical success between the four treated subgroups showed no statistically significant difference. However, revascularization with MTA or Ca(OH)₂, and MTA apical plug subgroups showed higher clinical success than Ca(OH)₂ apexification subgroup. There was no statistically significant difference in clinical success between apexifican and revascularization techniques. However, revascularization showed higher clinical success than apexification. The radiographic success between the four treated subgroups showed no statistically significant difference. However, revascularization with MTA showed the highest radiographic success while Ca(OH)₂ apexification showed the lowest radiographic success. There was no statistically significant difference in radiographic success between apexifican and revascularization techniques however, revascularization group showed higher radiographic success compared to apexification group |
