Root-end induction.
A root-end induction procedure was used to treat a nonvital tooth with an open apex. This procedure was relatively fast and simple and did not require special instruments or medicaments. The procedure improved the prognosis of the involved tooth and reduced the trauma associated with surgical endodontic treatment.
