The immature tooth with apical periodontitis presents numerous challenges. Several procedures utilizing different materials have been recommended to induce the root end barrier formation. Conventional treatment with calcium hydroxide for such cases is associated with certain difficulties, such as they take very long treatment time, possibility of tooth fracture owing to its highly alkaline pH & incomplete calcification of the bridge. Since the mid 1990s, use of Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) apical plug appears to be a promising alternative due to its high biocompatibility, superior sealing ability & reduced treatment time.  Biodentine is a cement of the same class as MTA, new novel dentin substitute material that septodont claim is set to revolutionise the world of dentistry. The purpose of this article is to report the flow characteristic of this novel dentin substitute and the clinical procedure for using biodentine in teeth with open apices, successfully treated with biodentine apical plugs.
