Purpose: The purpose of this systematic review was to summarize the clinical and radiographic results of pulp revascularization procedures employing a triple antibiotic paste in teeth with incomplete root formation. Methods: Electronic searches were conducted in February 2017 using PubMed, Medline, Web of Science, Scopus, The Cochrane Library, ProQuest, Lilacs and The Brazilian Library of Dentistry, UK National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, U.S. National Institutes of Health, Clinical Trials, and Google. The search was updated in March 2019. Clinical trials in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, without any restrictions regarding the year of publication, were included. The quality of the studies was analyzed using the Cochrane Collaboration tool. Results: The search retrieved 1,768 references, and eight studies were included for a qualitative analysis. In these eight studies, the risk of bias across the Cochrane tool's domains varied from low to unclear. The included studies demonstrated that the clinical and radiographic success of pulp revascularization using calcium hydroxide or triple antibiotic paste appears to resolve symptoms and periapical healing. Conclusions: Triple antibiotic paste is effective in the pulp revascularization therapy of teeth with incomplete root formation. Absence of symptoms and the achievement of periapical integrity have been observed. (Pediatr Dent 2019;41(5):341-53).
