title: Long-term follow-ups of revascularized immature necrotic teeth: three case reports.
abstract: Revascularization of immature necrotic teeth is a reliable treatment alternative to conventional apexogenesis or apexification. In case 1, a 12-year-old boy had his necrotic, immature mandibular left second premolar treated with a revascularization technique. At a24-month follow-up, periapical radiolucency had disappeared and thickening of the root wall was observed. In cases 2 and 3, a10-year-old boy had his necrotic, immature, bilateral mandibular second premolars treated with the same modality. At 48-month(in case 2) and 42-month (in case 3) follow-ups, loss of periapical radiolucencies and increases in the root wall thickness were also observed.
