The use of a collagen gel as a hard tissue induction material in fractured and undeveloped teeth is reviewed. Three of four cases demonstrate a modest amount of hard tissue formation within the pulp space previously occupied by the collagen gel. Limitations in positive results, compared with a previous animal study and one clinical case report, are probably due to the pre-existence of infection in the present study.
