Apicigênese com emprego do cimento biocerâmico em dentes com rizogênese incompleta e lesão periapical

Abstract

Introduction: Endodontics treats diseases of the dental pulp and adjacent tissues, cleaning and sealing the root canal properly. Although technological advances have improved treatments, the management of teeth with incomplete root formation and periapical lesions remains challenging. In these cases, calcium hydroxide is widely used but has limitations. Bioceramic cements are a more efficient alternative, promoting tissue regeneration and offering better biocompatibility, but further studies are needed to evaluate their long-term efficacy, especially in immature teeth. Objectives: The main objective of this study is to highlight clinical and radiographic characteristics, differential diagnosis and treatment of incomplete root formation with periapical lesions using bioceramics in their treatment. Methodology: In this case, a bibliographic survey will be used through research on articles taken from PubMed and Scielo and with publications made between the years 2004 and 2024. Results: Several studies show and prove the effectiveness of bioceramic cement in the treatment being favorable in cases of incomplete rhizogenesis with periapical lesion, however, more studies are still needed to evaluate its long-term effectiveness. Final considerations: Bioceramic materials offer better performance in endodontic treatments, especially in teeth with incomplete root formation. Combined with therapeutic approaches recommended by science, they increase the chances of success, due to the ability to promote tissue regeneration. Thus, they are an effective alternative for the treatment of teeth with incomplete rhizogenesis.
