J Orthod. 2018 Dec;45(4):289-295. doi: 10.1080/14653125.2018.1501935. Epub 2018 Jul 19.

Abstract

Management of non-vital immature permanent teeth in children remains a challenge in paediatric dentistry. The resulting short roots, thin root dentinal walls, and compromised crown root ratios, not only affect the long-term survival of these teeth but also complicate any intended orthodontic treatment. This case report shows a successful orthodontic movement of a traumatised non-vital immature tooth treated using regenerative endodontics.

Keywords: Regenerative; endodontics; immature-root; non- vital; orthodontics; trauma.
