Description for the video:
- Apexification and apexogenesis are two procedures that can help to save an underdeveloped tooth with a pulpal exposure from getting extracted .
- 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.
- Apexification and Apexogenesis are two procedures that have been advised to overcome this problem and save this underdeveloped tooth from getting extracted. And in this video I will be discussing both of these procedures side by side.
- 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.
- Apexification is an endodontic process that helps to counter this problem in developing teeth that have unfortunately undergone necrosis. And I will be discussing what is the process of apexification.
- Apexification, is an endodontic procedures in short is the creation of an artificial barrier.
- The objective of apexification is to help the tooth to function in the oral cavity.
- There are other endodontic procedures as well, such as direct pulp capping, that can also be considered.
- I will be discussing them in my future endodontic lecture videos, along with other important endodontic and dentistry topics just like apexification and Apexogenesis.
