Immature Open Apex & Resorption
Case types that support discussion around regenerative concepts, open apex management, and non-standard endodontic paths.
3 models in this category
Immature Open Apex Incisor
Immature tooth with an open apex requiring apexification or regenerative endodontic procedure. Teaches MTA barrier placement and decision-making for incompletely formed roots.
- Apexification vs. regeneration decision
- MTA apical barrier placement
- Hydraulic obturation technique for open apices
Internal Resorption — Incisor
Internal resorption creates an irregular, expanded canal that challenges normal irrigation and obturation. Teaches early diagnosis and adaptive filling strategies.
- Internal resorption radiographic diagnosis
- Warm vertical compaction in irregular canals
- Bioceramic sealer adaptation
Internal Resorption — L4 Premolar
Posterior internal resorption in a premolar context — less commonly seen but diagnostically deceptive. Challenges access design and filling in a posterior setting.
- Posterior resorption diagnosis workflow
- Access modification for expanded canal
- Thermoplasticized obturation technique
Its clinical value.
An open apex cannot be sealed by conventional obturation. The trainee learns when to place an MTA barrier, when to attempt regeneration, and how to hydraulic-seal a wide apex.
