Revascularization platelet-rich plasma

Wheaton cosmetic dentist Bryan Bauer

Technique

  1. Immature permanent tooth
  2. Side note=Avulsed tooth open apex to ~1-2mm
  3. Open apex to #80 without wall filing NaOCl and EDTA
  4. Final rinse with saline
  5. Dry paper points
  6. Triple antibiotic*
  7. Wait several weeks
  8. Evoke bleeding again with #80
  9. Blood clot
  10. MTA cap

*The use of the “3 mix-MP” triple antibiotic paste, developed by Hoshino and colleagues and consisting of ciprofloxacin, metronidazole, and minocycline, is effective for disinfection of the infected necrotic tooth, setting the conditions for subsequent revascularization (15, 16, 17, 18, 19) 1

Studies

DPSCs and PRP no difference

PRP improved PA healing, apical closure, dentinal wall thickening BUT length same as without
