Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are children with necrotic maxillary incisors that have an open apex and evidence of chronic apical periodontitis.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with systemic diseases affecting their immune status or those with unrestorable incisors may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial aims to identify the most effective bioceramic apexification techniques for children with necrotic maxillary incisors. Participants will undergo one of three procedures: Bioceramic Putty Apical Plugs, Single Cone Gutta-percha with Bioceramic Sealer, or a Combination of both. The study will evaluate post-operative pain, periapical healing, bioceramics extrusion, and the time required for each technique. Follow-up appointments will include clinical and radiological evaluations to assess outcomes.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved treatment options for children with necrotic immature incisors, reducing pain and enhancing healing.
How similar studies have gone: While similar techniques have been explored, this specific comparison of bioceramic apexification methods is relatively novel.
Who can join: the full rules
Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * Patients with one or more maxillary incisors with an open apex root (defined as root which root canal size equal or larger than #80 K-file) and presented with pulp necrosis and radiographic evidence of chronic apical periodontitis and periapical radiolucency greater than 3 mm. Exclusion Criteria: * Children with systemic diseases that compromised their general immune status. * Uncooperative (definitely negative on the Frankl's behavioral scale). * unrestorable incisors.
