ABSTRACT:Pulp necrosis of an immature tooth as a consequence to caries or trauma can arrest the closure of the root apices and leave the tooth with thin root canal walls that are susceptible to fracture. The absence of an apical constriction makes routine root canal treatment impossible; this is because sealing open apices with conventional obturation method is challenging. Materials Used: Triple antibiotic paste (TAP), Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) Biodentine Follow-up: follow-up is performed at 1, 3 and 6 months after treatment the tooth was asymptomatic, and the color of the crown did not change. Conclusion: Comparative studies between MTA and Biodentine revealed that both materials offer excellent sealing performance after direct pulp capping prevents the risk of subsequent microbial contamination. Biodentine has great potential to revolutionise the management of affected tooth in the operative dentistry and endodontics.
