Introduction: Apexification with calcium hydroxide is the traditional method to create an apical seal in open-apex teeth. Recently, single-visit apexification with suitable materials has gained popularity. A material suggested for this aim should have low solubility, low toxicity, and biocompatibility, and induce a calcified barrier and regenerate bone and PDL. Cold ceramic, introduced as a root-end filling material, has exhibited favorable properties for apexification in previous studies.
Case report: This case report describes successful apexification of a maxillary right central incisor in a 10-year-old girl with cold ceramic. One- and two-year follow-ups showed resolution of the lesion, absence of any clinical signs, new PDL formation, and bone regeneration.
Conclusion: According to the results, cold ceramic can be considered an effective material for apexification.
