An alternative to apexification.

Because of time constraints, financial concerns, psychological status, or aesthetic demands of the patient there are times when traditional apexification can not be performed. This case report describes an alternative technique using calcium hydroxide powder to develop an apical barrier in a pulpless tooth. This technique is an easy and efficient method requiring only a single visit to develop an apical stop to facilitate dense obturation.
