Abstract : Central cusp is an abnormal tooth on the occlusal surface. The most common position is the mandibular second premolar, with an appearance rate of 1 to 4%. Central cusp is considered to be a characteristic of Down syndrome. Regenerative endodontic therapy has been reported as a new treatment protocol for a fractured central cusp before completing the root of the tooth, in addition to conventional apexogenesis and apexification. The choice of treatment method depends on the degree of root canal infection. Regenerative endodontic therapy is recommended for cases of irreversible pulpitis and apical periodontitis before completing the root of the tooth. This report describes regenerative endodontic therapy for a case of fractured central cusp.
