Treatment of traumatized immature teeth poses a challenge for clinician. Apexification is considered to
be the treatment of choice for non-vital young permanent teeth. The present report, highlight the case
of traumatized young permanent tooth where apexificationwas achieved in a previously endodontically
treated tooth. Endodontic treatment of immature permanent teeth without apical barrier leads to failure of
treatment due to incomplete sealing of the canal. Also, the success of endodontic treatment is determined
by the quality of obturation. In wide canals, traditional obturating technique may result in spaces being left
in the canal space. Obturation using rolled cone technique to achieve a good seal is used in the present case.
