Management of an open apex using a platelet-rich fibrin membrane as an internal matrix and mineral trioxide aggregate as an apical barrier: a case report

HIGHLIGHTS

• What: The aim of this case report is describe the endodontic management of a non-vital permanent tooth with an open apex and chronic apical periodontitis using a single-step apical barrier technique with MTA and PRF as an internal matrix. An apical seal is the primary objective of treatment for teeth with pulpal necrosis. This study has a limitation that should be acknowledged: the CBCT image can be used for detecting the presence of an open apex as it provides a three-dimensional evaluation of the apex.
• Who: Ruchali S. Bhandare and collaborators from . . .
