Description
Bikash Chaurasia and co-authors report the long follow-up of a boy whose dead molar was coaxed back to life with regenerative dental therapy, in a 2026 case report. The treatment aims to restart root growth in young permanent teeth whose pulp has died, instead of sealing them off. A scaffold made from the patient's own blood concentrate, platelet-rich fibrin, fills the cleaned root canal. The patient was a healthy seven-year-old with months of pain in a lower molar.
Tests showed the tooth's nerve had died, its roots were still open, and infection sat at one root tip. After treatment, the team followed the boy for fifty-two months with checks and X-rays. Reports of this therapy rarely run so long, especially in molars. The case adds evidence that young teeth can keep maturing after their pulp dies, if the biology is given a scaffold.
