What is the treatment of a vital immature pulp by capping or pulpotomy to allow continued root growth and apex closure?

  1. Cveck

  2. apexification

  3. direct pulp cap

  4. apexogenesis

The correct answer is: apexogenesis

Direct pulp cap is a treatment for vital immature pulp which allows for continued root growth and closure of the apex. Option A, B, and C are incorrect because they refer to different treatments. Cveck is not a relevant term in dental treatments and apexification is a treatment for necrotic immature pulp. Direct pulp cap is not the same as pulp capping, which is a treatment for partially exposed pulp tissue.
