In immature teeth, which statement correctly contrasts apexification and regenerative endodontics?

• A. Apexification aims to create an apical barrier (with CaOH or MTA) to allow obturation; regenerative endodontics aims to regenerate pulp-like tissue and promote continued root development; steps differ in disinfection, placement, and dynamic environment
• B. Apexification vs regenerative endodontics both aim to regenerate pulp-like tissue
• C. Apexification aims to create an apical barrier (with CaOH or MTA) to allow obturation; regenerative endodontics aims to regenerate pulp-like tissue and promote continued root development; steps differ in disinfection, placement, and dynamic environment
• D. Regenerative endodontics is not applicable to immature teeth

Answer: (C)
