Cochrane risk of bias (RoB) -2 tool was used for quality assesssment using RevMan 5.3. The risk ratio (RR) and standardized mean difference (SMD) was used as summary statistic measure with random effect model (P < 0.05). Nine studies were included in qualitative synthesis and eight studies for meta-analysis. Quality assessment revealed moderate to low risk of bias. The pooled estimate through RR and SMD favoured REP being superior to AP for better survival rate (RR = 1.01 (0.96 – 1.06)), success rate (RR = 1.09 (0.96 – 1.24)), increase in root length (SMD = 0.25 (-0.14 – 0.63)), root width (0.66 (0.22 – 1.10)) and decrease in apical diameter (SMD =0.66 (-0.51 – 1.83)).

AP are equally effective in forming calcific barrier, however it was concluded that regeneration procedures are comparably superior to apexification procedures with greater outcomes.
