(a) Intra oral radiograph of upper central incisors showing wide root canals and immature apices. Note that the mesial dentinal wall of left central incisor is short than distal. Also there is associated peri-apical radiolucency. Revascularization procedure was induced in left central incisor. (b) 6 months follow-up radiograph showing healing of associated peri-apical radiolucency. There is slight thickening of the lateral dentinal walls of left central incisor. A small remaining portion of the antibiotic placed during the operative procedure can be seen as slight radiographic opacity in the middle/1/3rd of the canal

I mobility. Intraoral radiographs revealed immature apices associated with both maxillary central incisors [Figure 1a]. Patient was recalled every 6 months for clinical and radiological evaluation [Figures 1b, 2a, 2b].
(a) 12 months follow-up intra oral radiograph showing complete healing of peri- apical radiolucency. The increase in the length of mesial root wall of left central incisor can be appreciated. (b) 18 months follow-up intra oral radiograph showing narrowing of apex and lateral dentinal wall thickening in left central incisor. Note there is no appreciable change in root length or dentinal thickening in right central incisor. (c) 24 months follow up radiograph revealing maturation of root with thickening and lengthening of dentinal walls of left central incisor. There is complete healing of peri-apical radiolucency. Apical closure can also be appreciated

Patient was recalled every 6 months for clinical and radiological evaluation [Figures 1b, 2a, 2b]. After 24 months follow- up, there was no perceptible mobility of the involved teeth [Figure 2c].
