Reestablishing blood flow and allowing the continuation of root development are
some of the objectives of pulp revascularization. This procedure is currently
indicated for teeth with incomplete root formation as an alternative to the
traditional treatment of apecification, which consists of inserting calcium
hydroxide paste into the root canal for a determined time period in order to
induce the formation of a calcified barrier. Although it is considered as the
most classically employed therapy, the permanence of the paste for long time
periods may lead to the weakening of the root due to hygroscopic properties, as
well as proteolytic activities of calcium hydroxide. Therefore, there has been a
permanent search for alternatives which allow the full development of immature
teeth. Revascularization has emerged as such an alternative, and a range of
treatment protocols can be found in the scientific literature. The aim of this
paper is to accomplish a literature review concerning this issue.
