Tóm tắt

Abstract –  Aim:  To report the outcome of the endodontic treatment of a reimplanted central maxillary incisor with open apex after 8 years and 7 months of follow‐up.

Summary:  This case report presents the treatment of a right central maxillary incisor of an 8‐year old white male patient with history of traumatic avulsion and immediate replantation. The endodontic therapy consisted of periodical changes of calcium hydroxide dressing and a definitive root canal filling with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA). The treatment was successful without pathologies up to 7 years of follow‐up. After the institution of orthodontic treatment a localized and late root resorption was noticed at the last radiographic examination (8 years and 7 months postoperative follow‐up). Moreover, the use of MTA promoted a mild crown grey discoloration.
