Abstract

Objectives: This study cases report aimed to evaluate the clinical treatment effectiveness of the procedure using A-PRF+ combined with MTA. Materials and methods: Fifteen permanent teeth with open apex requiring endodontic treatment in fourteen patients were recruited. Pre-treatment diagnosis is based on history of pain, clinical symptoms and periapical radiograph. After informed consent, the tooth was anesthetized, isolated with a rubber dam, opened the pulp, irrigated with 3% NaOCl and determined the working length. Shaped the canal, appliced intracanal medicine and recalled after a week. Placed A-PRF+ combination with MTA when was asymptomatic by taking 10 ml whole venous blood to centrifugation at A-PRF+ mode. Pressed the A-PRF+ into a membrane, cutted into appropriate size and gently placed in the apex. Then placed the calcium silicate layer about 5 thickness (MTA Angelus Repair HP – Angelus, Brazil) to the working length. Orturated the canal and restoration after 4 days. Clinical evaluation and periapical radiograph assessment after 1, 2, 3 months. Results: Quickly reduces clinical symptoms: pain, swelling and fistula. Clinical symptoms  disappear after 3 months, no recurrence and the patients performed functions well. Conclusions: The A-PRF+ membrane and can be combined with MTA as an effective plug in endodontic treatment of permanent teeth with open apex brings high clinical effectiveness and can be applied in dental practice.
