Injuries to the tooth supporting tissues with incomplete root development are among the most common dental injuries and have a direct impact on the integrity of the dental pulp. One of the responses of the pulp to a tooth injury is the uncontrolled production of reparative dentine with subsequent obliteration of the pulp chamber and the root canal. Due to lower risk of pulp necrosis, such a reaction is considered a favorable outcome of pulp regeneration. In this work, the authors present two case reports of a subluxated immature permenent tooth, in which, despite a negative vitality test, the development will be completed with subsequent obliteration of the pulp cavity. They emphasize the necessity of regular clinical and radiological follow up.

Keywords: dental trauma, pulp canal obliteration, immature permanent teeth, pulp regeneration, pulp revascularization
