Healing the Open Apex: A Case Report on Innovative Apexogenesis of a Maxillary Molar Using Bio-C Repair.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Preserving pulp vitality in developing permanent teeth is paramount. This approach facilitates continued root formation, ultimately leading to apical closure, enhanced root strength, and improved overall tooth integrity. This case report details the management of a 17-year-old female patient presenting with dental caries on the right permanent maxillary molar. Clinical and radiographic examinations revealed reversible pulpitis in the tooth with an immature apex. The case highlights the use of a novel bioceramic cement, Bio-C Repair (Angelus, Londrina, Brazil), for apexogenesis. Treatment was performed under rubber dam isolation. This involved caries removal and extirpation of the inflamed coronal pulp. Subsequently, the residual radicular pulp was covered with Bio-C Repair cement. Follow-up examinations at one, three, and six months demonstrated normal tooth function and a normal response to pulp sensibility tests. No signs or symptoms of pulpal pathology were observed. The radiographic evaluation confirmed complete root development. Therefore, Bio-C Repair, with its convenient ready-to-use format, can facilitate faster and more efficient management of open apices.
