Apical closure. Report of two cases.
Two young patients with fractured maxillary incisors were treated. Pulpotomies were performed. In one calcium hydroxide was used as a dressing, and in the other zinc oxide-eugenol paste was used. Postoperative clinical and histologic evaluations revealed similar results in both cases, although the teeth treated with calcium hydroxide exhibited significantly more dentin bridging.
