Comparative Evaluation of Platelet-rich Fibrin and Treated Dentin Matrix in Regenerative Endodontic Treatment of Nonvital Immature Permanent Teeth: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

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. 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 ( 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 ( Both PRF and TDM were clinically successful. Platelet-rich fibrin showed better radiographic outcomes and periapical healing. 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.
