    European Society of Endodontology Position Statement Revitalization Procedure

    Uploaded by

    Rochman Mujayanto
    This position statement provides a protocol for revitalization procedures as an alternative to apexification for treating immature teeth with pulp necrosis. Revitalization aims to stimulate continued root development by replacing necrotic pulp tissue with vital pulp tissue. While clinical trials are still lacking and evidence continues emerging, this statement establishes guidelines for properly selected cases and will be updated periodically.

    The goal is to provide suitably trained dentists
    with a protocol including procedural details for
    the treatment of immature teeth with pulp
    necrosis as well as a patient consent form.
    Revitalization is a biologically based treatment as
    an alternative to apexification in properly
    selected cases
    clinical trials are lacking and new evidence is still
    emerging, this position statement will be updated
    at appropriate intervals. This might lead to
    changes to the protocol provided here.
