Özet
This case report presents a five-year follow-up and the management of a necrotic, immature incisor tooth treated by a novel platelet-rich plasma/platelet extract solution and platelet-rich fibrin (PRP-PES/PRF) and the restoration by using a stress-reduced direct composite restoration (SRDC) technique. The patient with a broken maxillary lateral tooth was referred to our clinic. Extra/intra-oral examinations were within normal limits. The nonvital tooth having an apical lesion and open-apical apex was treated with a regenerative endodontic treatment procedure (REP), and further root development with continued apical closure was shown in the follow-ups up to 60 months. In conclusion, the SRDC and PRP-PES/PRF combination can be an opportunity for the teeth requiring post-restoration. In contrast to the treatment strategy susceptible to weakening or fracturing the patient's tooth root, the REP approach may lead to a better prognosis for the patient's tooth.
