Abstract
Apexification is the procedure that involves the induction of the formation of an apical barrier. Nowadays, an artificial apical barrier is formed with the advancement of newer biomimetic and bioactive materials such as tricalcium phosphate, freeze-dried bone, freeze-dried dentin, and mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), These treatment methods have succeeded in achieving more predictable, successful treatment outcomes. However, these are the materials that can lead to extruding from the apex and affecting the periapical tissue. an artificial barrier or matrix limits the material within the apex.
