Abstract
Background: Endodontic management of immature necrotic molar teeth has always been a challenge for clinicians. This case report highlights the use of concentrated growth factor, an autologous platelet concentrate as an effective bio-material in the regeneration of an immature tooth.
Case Description: A 14 year old girl reported to the dental office with pain in the lower left second molar. Revascularization procedure was carried out after obtaining parental consent. Following bleeding induction, CGF was prepared, placed, and condensed using pluggers in the root canal space, followed by the placement of mineral trioxide aggregate up to the level of CEJ. Entrance filling was then given with type IX GIC and the patient was followed up for 1 year. At the end of 1 year, the patient was devoid of pain and an increase in root canal thickness and length was seen.
Conclusion: Concentrated growth factor can be considered as an effective scaffold for regenerative treatment of immature necrotic teeth.
Clinical Significance: Concentrated growth factor provides good cell proliferation and osteoblastic differentiation as well as a rich growth factor content. Revascularization process is quicker in this case considering the young age of the patient.
