Introduction: This study was conducted to evaluate and compare maturogenesis induced by revascularization with and without platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Methods: Twenty patients with nonvital, immature anterior teeth were randomly categorized into 2 groups. Subsequent to chemomechanical preparation, revascularization with and without PRP carried on a collagen sponge was induced in groups 1 and 2, respectively. The cases were followed up clinically and radiographically at 6- and 12-month intervals. Results: Clinically, all cases were asymptomatic with complete resolution of signs and symptoms. Radiographically, there was a marked difference in periapical healing, apical closure, and dentinal wall thickening in group 2 in comparison with group 1. However, root lengthening was comparable for both of the procedures. Conclusions: Revascularization is a conservative and an effective method for inducing maturogenesis in nonvital, immature teeth. Supplementations with PRP can potentially improve the desired biological outcome of this regenerative technique. (J Endod 2012;38:1581-1587)
