3. INTRODUCTION Tooth development is a complex and long process of postnatal organogenesis . A tooth may take an additional 3 years after eruption to complete its root maturation. Endodontic treatment of necrotic immature human permanent teeth has always been challenging Traditionally these teeth were managed by apexification: calcium hydroxide or mta resolve the signs and symptoms with little or No continuous root development The frequency of cervical root fractures was markedly higher in endodontically treated immature teeth - ranged in incidence from 28%–77% Regenerative Endodontic Procedures: Clinical Outcomes , Anibal Diogenes

4. Regenerative endodontic procedures can be defined as biologically based procedures “designed to replace damaged structures”, including dentin and root structures, as well as cells of the pulp-dentin complex.
