Long‐term follow‐up of single‐visit pulp revascularisation for the dens evaginatus and dens invaginatus: Cases report

Abstract

AbstractThis article documents cases of single‐visit pulp revascularisation for dens evaginatus and dens invaginatus, without using intracranial medicaments or antibiotics, aiming to provide a potentially applicable protocol for pulp revascularisation procedure in a single‐visit. Two patients with chief complaints of pain and swelling visited a dental hospital. Radiographs revealed that the causative teeth had an open apex and periapical radiolucency, and the teeth were diagnosed as pulp necrosis and acute apical abscess or symptomatic apical periodontitis. For both cases, single‐visit revascularisation was completed without intracanal medicaments or antibiotics. The patients were periodically recalled to evaluate periapical healing after treatment. The apical lesion healed, and the root dentin thickening was observed. The single‐visit pulp revascularisation procedure without using specific intracanal medicaments can produce clinically favourable results for these dental anomalies.
