title: [Endodontics in immature teeth].
abstract: In case of an exposed pulp, the endodontic treatment of an immature tooth is directed to preservation of the vitality of the pulp, for reason of either the completion of the root genesis or the inducement of an apical constriction. The state of the pulp dictates the choice of treatment, which are, in order of most to least desired, pulp capping, vital (partial) pulpotomy and extirpation followed by obturation after an apexification procedure.
