What is the treatment for an immature necrotic tooth?

direct pulp cap
Cveck
apexification
pulpotomy

The correct answer is: apexification

An immature necrotic tooth occurs when the pulp (a tiny tissue inside a tooth that contains nerves and blood vessels) of the tooth has died. This can be caused by trauma or tooth decay. Since the pulp is essential for the tooth's health and vitality, it needs to be treated as soon as possible. In this case, the best treatment option would be apexification, which is a procedure that encourages the root to continue developing while removing any damaged pulp tissue. Other options such as direct pulp cap or pulpotomy may not be effective in treating an immature necrotic tooth as they are typically used for different types of tooth damage. The option B, Cveck, is not a valid dental procedure and does not provide any treatment for a necrotic tooth.
