Objective To compare the clinical effect of three different kinds of materials used in apexification.Methods Sixty immature permanent teeth with pulpitis, pulp necrosis, periapical periodontitis were selected and randomly assigned to 3 groups according to registration order. Group A was treated with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), group B with Vitapex, and the control group with calcium hydroxide. All patients were recalled 3, 6 and 12 months after initial treatment.Results Pearson Chi-square test showed that the efficacy rate of group A was significantly higher than group B and the control group (P<0.05) in the visits of 3 months and 6 months after treatment. And efficacy rate of group B is also higher than the control group, but no statistical difference was found between two groups in the final visit (12 months). The efficacy rate of group A is 94.1%, group B is 75.0% and the control group is 58.8%. The statistical difference was found between group A and control group, but it was not found between group A and group B or between group B and the control group.Conclusion Compared with calcium hydroxide and Viatapex, MTA for apexification has better performance in apexification.
