Published in: International journal of paediatric dentistry (2024)
In total, 18 articles were included in qualitative analysis: 17 of these were case reports and one case series. A total of 37 teeth were treated with decoronation either using the Malmgren or an alternative protocol (root submergence following endodontic treatment with gutta-percha [GP] or a calcium silicate cement and vital root submergence). Limited evidence from this review suggests that immediate decoronation and vital root submergence are successful in apexogenesis and preserving alveolar bone. This systematic review has been registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO: registration number CRD42022316266).
