Özet
Introduction: The loss of vitality and cessation of root development in immature permanent teeth are frequently encountered in children due to traumatic injuries and deep caries. In this three series case study, we aimed to present the clinical and radiological follow-ups after 3 and 4 years following regenerative endodontic therapy of an open apex premolar and two central incisors using platelet-rich fibrin. Methods: In all the three cases, the intracanal disinfection was performed with limited mechanical instrumentation, abundant irrigation, and calcium hydroxide. At the final appointment, intracanal bleeding was induced. PRF which was obtained by centrifuging the blood withdrawn from the patients, was placed with plugger into the blood clot that reached up to the coronal 1/3rd level of the canal. Results: In the 24-month controls, the lesions around the roots were completely healed, the dentin walls were thickened, and the root lengths were elongated. In the 48-month controls of the other two cases, the roots development were continued and their apexes were closed. Discussion and Conclusion: The results postulated that regenerative endodontic treatment of necrotic immature teeth using PRF is a viable alternative to the apexification treatment and other endodontic treatment methods of immature permanent teeth in achieving thickened dentin walls and elongated root lengths.
