Clinical Management of External Apical Root Resorption Using Amnion Membrane Matrix and Bio Dentine
Jeong‐Kui Ku, In‐Woong Um, Mi-Kyoung Jun, Il-hyung Kim
Abstract
External apical root resorption is characterized by the gradual blunting and shortening of the root, leading to open apices that complicate the achievement of an adequate three-dimensional seal in the root canal system. A common treatment approach for such conditions has been the placement of an apical barrier. This case report demonstrates the innovative use of an amnion membrane matrix combined with Biodentine as an apical barrier to manage apical root resorption. After performing the initial
