The management of a tooth with open apex consists of either the induction of a natural barrier or the creation of an artificial apical barrier. Since the conventional apexification using calcium hydroxide has certain drawbacks recent approach is to form an artificial apical plug using newer biomaterials. In addition to MTA, alternative materials are being developed and researched studied for the purpose. This article describes the successful management of traumatized and necrotic permanent maxillary incisor teeth with open apex using artificial apical barrier technique with Biodentine.
