There is a necessity to induce or create an apical barrier against which the obturating material can be compacted. The present article reports the effective closure of root apex in a pulpless permanent upper incisor tooth with wide-open apex utilizing Biodentine in blend with platelet-rich fibrin in the form of a matrix showing excellent healing potential at a 12-month follow-up. |
