title: Long-term treatment outcomes in immature permanent teeth by revascularisation using MTA and GIC as canal-sealing materials: a retrospective study.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Pulp revascularisation with MTA sealing has been accepted as an alternative treatment for non-vital immature permanent teeth. Successful revascularisation cases with GIC sealing were also reported, but lack of long-term researches.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate long-term outcomes of revascularisation using MTA and GIC as canal-sealing materials in non-vital immature permanent teeth.
  
  
  METHODS
  Clinical and radiographic data of 60 non-vital immature permanent teeth treated with revascularisation (36.8 ± 12.4 months of follow-up) were reviewed. Of these, 28 teeth were sealed with MTA, and 32 with GIC. Tooth survival, success rate, and increases in root length and dentine wall thickness were evaluated.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Teeth in MTA group showed a similar survival rate (96%) to GIC group (100%). The success rate in MTA group (93%) was greater than that in GIC group (59%). Eight of fourteen failed teeth due to recurrent apical disease (seven teeth in GIC group and one in MTA group) achieved complete root development. There was no statistically significant difference in root length or dentine wall thickness increase between the groups.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Long-term outcome of revascularisation in non-vital immature permanent teeth sealed with GIC was not as good as that with MTA. Although more recurrent apical disease developed, results on root development were acceptable in GIC sealed cases.
