| Summary: | The management of traumatized young permanent teeth has always been a challenge to the clinician, considering the importance of
retaining the vitality of the tooth. Recently, collagen particles have been successfully used as pulpotomy medicaments in primary teeth.
This case report shows the use of collagen particles as pulpal dressing in a traumatized young permanent tooth of a nine-year-old child
presenting with complicated fracture of young permanent left maxillary central incisor. Partial pulpotomy was performed with collagen
particles (Biofil-AB) as pulpal dressing. At six months follow up, apexogenesis was found to be nearly complete. Thus, collagen can be
considered as a potential pulpal medicament for apexogenesis procedures. |
