Abstract
Necrosis of permanent immature teeth is a common reason for consultation in paediatric dentistry. Apexification is a therapeutic procedure aiming to create an apical calcified barrier in open apex teeth. Two cases are presented in which apexification were completed on immature permanent traumatised incisors using a mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) plug. At 2 and 5years showed apical closure and radicular elongation beyond the MTA plug. Unexpectedly, a regeneration of mineral tissues beyond the MTA plug occurred which is an uncommon outcome.
