Management of teeth with open apexes and necrotic pulps: representative cases.
This paper briefly reviews the pros and cons of five methods used to treat a tooth with a necrotic pulp and an open apex (incompletely developed root), and presents representative treatments of open apex cases. These treatments include customized cone, short-fill, periapical surgery, apexification, and one-visit apexification.
