Abstract
A proprietary calcium hydroxide paste, Reogan Rapid, that previously h as been demonstrated to induce apical closure in non-vital immature in cisor teeth, was becoming unavailable. A prospective clinical trial wa s conducted to compare Reogan Rapid with another proprietary paste, Hy po-cal. For teeth treated with Reogan Rapid apical closure was obtaine d in an average of 6.8 months involving 3.1 visits and the respective figures for teeth treated with Hypo-cal were 5.1 months and 2.4 visits . These results demonstrated that Hypo-cal was as effective as Reogan Rapid when used in a standardised technique for inducing apical closur e.
