Abstract

Aim: Clinical and radiographic evaluation of the efficacy of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and treated dentin matrix (TDM) in regenerative endodontic treatment and periapical healing of nonvital immature permanent teeth with chronic apical periodontitis. Materials and methods: Twenty-four children aged between 7 and 11 years, each presenting with a nonvital immature permanent upper central incisor, were selected. They were randomly allocated into two groups (n = 12), group I (PRF) and group II (TDM). Baseline clinical findings were recorded, and preoperative cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) was taken. Follow-up was done clinically for 15 months at 3-month intervals (3, 6, 9, 12, and 15 months), and CBCT was taken at the end of the 15-month follow-up. Root length, apical diameter, radiographic root area (RRA), and size of the periapical lesion were quantitively assessed at the end of follow-up period and compared to the preoperative CBCT. Results: Clinical success was 100% in both groups by the end of the follow-up period. Radiographically, after a 15-month follow-up, there was a significant increase in root length and RRA, and there was also a significant reduction in apical diameter and lesion size within each group (p < 0.05). However, there was no statistically significant difference between both groups regarding the mean percentage of increase in root length and mean percentage of reduction of apical diameter (p > 0.05). On the other hand, PRF showed more increase in RRA and more reduction in lesion size, with a statistically significant difference between both groups (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Both PRF and TDM were clinically successful. Platelet-rich fibrin showed better radiographic outcomes and periapical healing. Clinical significance: Platelet-rich fibrin is a viable scaffold to aid further root development and resolution of periapical lesions of nonvital immature permanent teeth. Further studies with different forms of TDM are needed to assess the efficacy of TDM in regenerative endodontic treatment of nonvital immature permanent teeth.
