Apexification in Moreno Valley, CA
What is Apexification
Apexification is a specialized endodontic procedure designed to create a calcified barrier at the root of an immature permanent tooth where the pulp has died. This treatment is crucial for young patients whose teeth have suffered trauma or infection before their roots have fully developed.
Unlike apexogenesis, which preserves living pulp tissue, apexification addresses situations where the pulp has been compromised beyond repair. The procedure creates an artificial environment that allows for proper root canal filling and ensures the tooth’s long-term stability.

How Does Apexification Work?
The apexification process begins with thoroughly cleaning the root canal system to remove all damaged or infected tissue. We then place specialized calcium hydroxide material into the canal, which stimulates the formation of a calcified barrier at the root tip over several months.
Once the barrier has formed, we complete the treatment with a permanent root canal filling to seal and protect the tooth. This multi-step process requires expertise and patience, as the formation of the calcified barrier is a gradual process that we monitor carefully through regular follow-up appointments.
Signs and Symptoms Apexification is Needed
Young patients with immature permanent teeth may require apexification when certain conditions are present:
- History of severe tooth trauma
- Persistent tooth pain or sensitivity
- Discoloration of the affected tooth
- Evidence of abscess or infection

While both procedures aim to promote root development in immature teeth, apexification is used when the pulp is already necrotic (non-vital), whereas apexogenesis is performed when there is still vital pulp tissue present.
