Abstract: Root development will continue after immature permanent tooth eruption. However, during this period if the pulp is inflamed or necrosed due to caries, dental trauma or teeth dysplasia, root formation will be interrupted, which results in an open apex and thin root canal wall. It has been reported that apical development of immature permanent teeth is independent of main root canal, which is a special type of root development. In this paper, we reviewed literature and analyzed possible causes for the separated root tip formation of immature permanent tooth, which could provide some suggestions for clinicians to make correct preventive and therapeutic decisions.

Key words: young permanent tooth, deparated root tip, infection, dental trauma, tooth dysplasia
