For an 8-year-old child with fractured maxillary central incisor showing no pulp response after 10 months with no periapical lesion, the treatment of choice is complete debridement and apexification. This is because: 1) The immature root has an open apex requiring apexification, 2) Non-responsive pulp indicates necrosis requiring debridement, 3) Absence of periapical lesion suggests early intervention, 4) Apexification allows root end closure for proper obturation, 5) Conventional RCT cannot be done with open apex. Calcium hydroxide is typically used for apexification in such cases.
