The management of immature tooth with an open apex is always a challenge for the endodontist. There is always a difficulty in shaping and cleaning of canals and achieving a proper obturation. Obtaining working length is always difficult in cases of blunderbuss canals. Recently there is a paradigm shift in the management of open apex, There is a possibility of regenerating the pulp tissue in the immature tooth with open apex. Regenerative endodontics is one of the most prospective development in the field of dentistry today.
