Abstract
Aim: The advantages of two bioactive coronal plug materials Bioceramic Root
Repair vs. Bio-MTA for the revascularization of necrotic, immature, permanent teeth
with apical periodontitis were assessed from a clinical and radiographic standpoint in
this randomized clinical trial (RCT). Subject and Methods: Children between the
ages of seven and twelve who had apical periodontitis in twenty-eight permanent,
immature, non-vital teeth participated in this RCT. Samples were randomized into two
groups according to type the coronal plug materials used: Bioceramic Root Repair
(group I) and Bio-MTA (mineral trioxide aggregate) (group II) (n = 14). A clinical and
radiographic follow-up was conducted for a one year in order to evaluate the level of
clinical success and efficacy in apical root closure. Results: With respect to the level
of clinical success, every single instance (100%) accomplished the main objective,
which was the eradication of symptoms and the demonstration of bone healing.
There was no significant difference between the groups (p > 0.05). Clinical results for
both bioceramic cements were good. For every individual studied group, there was
a significant increase in the apical dentin root thickness over time, nevertheless, the
differences between the two examined groups were not statistically significant (p > 0.05).
Conclusion: Bioceramic cements might be regarded as viable materials for the
revascularization of non-vital immature permanent teeth with apical periodontitis.
