The immature teeth with apical periodontitis present considerable challenges to clinicians. Therefore, new treatment protocols have been suggested to overcome the problems encountered in traditional methods. Regenerative treatment (revascularization) is one of such methods. Many case reports on the revascularization of infected immature teeth have been published, and in most of them, immature teeth with even a periapical abscess continued root formation after the disinfection of the root canal system. We now believe that this continued root formation is not an exceptional incident. As a result, it appeared that apexification has been giving way to a revascularization technique, which is a new option, in treating necrotic immature teeth. These new methods appear to be based on the healing potential of stem cells. The potential of healing or regeneration of stem cells, which are located around teeth, seems to be greater than we thought before. This review summarizes the current techniques for considering regenerative endodontic treatment procedures in treating the immature permanent tooth with pulp necrosis.
