Scenario D: the open-apex tooth shows continued root…
Dental trauma questions test protocol-level decisions — splint type, duration, follow-up timing — where one wrong detail means a wrong answer. This exam-level vignette tests your ability to work through clinical details and arrive at the correct management.
Four clinical scenarios: (A) A closed-apex tooth replanted at the scene — the dentist debates anesthetic choice. (B) An avulsed tooth in a child with severe uncontrolled epilepsy. (C) A tooth stored in tap water for 25 minutes. (D) An open-apex tooth showing radiographic signs of continued root formation 4 months post-replantation. Scenario D: the open-apex tooth shows continued root formation at 4 months. Should the dentist perform RCT now?
- A. No — continued root formation indicates successful revascularization; RCT would destroy this healing
- B. Yes — 4 months is beyond the safe window and endodontic treatment should be initiated regardless
- C. No — but begin apexification with MTA as a precautionary measure while monitoring for infection
- D. Yes — revascularization is only possible in the first 2 weeks and this has now been exceeded

IADT: 'In immature teeth with open apices, there is a potential for spontaneous healing to occur. This allows continued root development and maturation. Hence, endodontic treatment should not be initiated unless there are definite signs of pulp necrosis and infection.' Continued root formation = revascularization is working. SOURCE — Fouad AF et al. IADT Avulsion Guidelines, Dent Traumatol 2020;36:331-342, Section 3.2.1
