PATIENT CENTRED APPROACH IN ORAL REHABILITATION – CORONAL DISCOLORATION SUBSEQUENT TO REVITALIZATION PROCEDURES

Abstract

Currently the regenerative endodontics is the treatment of choice in chronic apical periodontitis affecting the immature permanent teeth and is considered a better alternative to apexification. The coronal discoloration, as most visible drawback of regenerative endodontics may be induced by minocycline from the triple antibiotic paste TAP and MTA radiopacifers. Patient centered approach based on recommended guidelines is pivotal in regenerative procedures in order to avoid coronal discoloration and side effects of bleaching procedures such as the invasive external root resorption.
