title: Revascularization for a necrotic immature permanent lateral incisor: a case report and literature review.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Revascularization is a valuable treatment in immature necrotic teeth that allows the continuation of root development.
  
  
  METHODS
  This article describes the successful revascularization treatment of an immature maxillary lateral incisor that was initially diagnosed with apical periodontitis. The tooth was asymptomatic and functional clinically and radiographically during the follow-up period of 5 years.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The follow-up showed evidence of progressive thickening of the dentinal walls, development of root length and apical closure. The article also discusses the currently available literature regarding revascularization of immature permanent teeth.
