Bleaching of a Discolored Tooth with Retrieval of Remnants after Successful Regenerative Endodontics

MTA remnants within the pulp chamber contributed to the tooth discoloration and appear to have obstructed hard tissue formation. A matrix of oxidized regenerated cellulose seems not to hinder tissue regeneration and is resorbed by these tissues. Other materials with color stability should be selected as coronal barriers for REPs to avoid a potential adverse effect of the MTA on the REP outcome and discoloration.
