Apexogenesis
Apexogenesis can save an injured tooth by encouraging continued root development while the pulp heals. By covering the soft tissue with medication to support growth, the tooth will continue to mature naturally as the apex closes and root canal walls thicken. This proccess will enable the tip of the root (apex) to continue to close as the child gets older. If the pulp heals, no additional treatment will be necessary. The more mature the root becomes, the better the chance for the survival of the tooth.
