Abstract

An immature tooth with pulpal necrosis and periapical pathology imposes a great difficulty to the
endodontist. Endodontic treatment options for such teeth consist of conventional apexification procedure
with and without apical barriers. Biodentine is new calcium silicate based cement that exhibits physical
and chemical properties similar to those described for certain Portland cement derivatives. This article
demonstrates the use of the newer material, Biodentine as an apical matrix barrier in root end apexification
procedure. This case report presents apexification and successful healing with the use of Biodentine as an
apical barrier matrix.

Keywords: Apexification, Apical barrier, Biodentine, Periradicular healing.
