Introduction: Revascularization is the newest treatment proposed for an immature permanent tooth with necrotic pulp. Revascularization is defined as a treatment process with a biological base which is aimed at replacing the lost structures and the continued development of roots.
Case presentation: Patient was an eight-year-old child with the history of trauma to the maxillary anterior region. After clinical and radiographic evaluations, tooth #9 was diagnosed with the pulp necrosis, and revascularization was carried out according to Banch and Trope principles.
Conclusion: The clinical and radiographic evaluation after treatment revealed no signs and symptoms and root development was in progress which was an indication of successful treatment. It seems that, in the case of proper selection of the patient, this method can be an appropriate replacement for apexification in immature teeth with pulp necrosis.
