Description for the video:
- After a tooth has erupted into the oral cavity, it takes about three years for the root development to complete, hence the root of the tooth still has thin dentinal walls, and an open root end.
- When the pulp of such a tooth that is still undergoing root development is exposed to the environment, and if the pulp becomes damaged or necrosed, then the root dentine formation will cease, and the root development will become arrested.
- The result will be a short thin root with thin dentinal walls and a comparatively large apex that lacks constriction and is hence known as an open apex.
- This tooth, because of the thin root and dead pulp can easily be fractured and is very weak.
- Also open apex provides a serious challenge in the treatment of the tooth. Because conventional root canal treatment is not an option since apical closure hasn't been achieved yet and therefore the root canal treatment becomes unpredictable and unreliable in these cases.
- Hence protecting the vitality of the pulp in such developing teeth is really important in order to promote continued root development and achieve apical end closure.
- A number of procedures have been suggested to counter this problem. One of such procedures is Apexogenesis.
- Apexogenesis is defined as a vital pulp therapy procedure performed to encourage continued physiological development and formation of the root end.
- The objective of Apexogenesis is to maintain the vitality of the radicular pulp after a pulp exposure has occurred, usually due to trauma or mechanical exposure, so that the root can continue developing and the apical closure can be achieved.
