What is the treatment for Ellis Class VI avulsion?

apexification
apexogenesis
direct pulp cap
Cveck

The correct answer is: apexification

Ellis Class VI avulsion refers to a type of dental injury where the entire tooth, including the pulp, is completely removed from the socket. In such cases, the recommended treatment is apexification, which is a procedure involving the placement of a medication to promote root growth and strengthen the tooth. The other options, apexogenesis and direct pulp cap, are more suitable for less severe injuries and focus on preserving the pulp tissue. Option D, Cveck, is not a recognized treatment and may refer to a misspelling of the term "kyphosis," which is a spine condition and has no relation to dental treatment.
