چکیده

AIM To examine the clinical and radiographic appearance of teeth that suffered premature interruption of root development and were treated by an mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) apical plug technique. SUMMARY Eleven teeth with immature root apices in 11 patients were treated nonsurgically by the manual application of MTA in the apical portion of the root canal under microscopic vision. Follow-up evaluations were performed at 1-2 years after treatment. KEY LEARNING POINTS Mineral trioxide aggregate appears to be a valid material to obtain periradicular healing in teeth with open apices and necrotic pulps. Ten out of 11 cases were associated with periradicular health at follow-up evaluation.

Mineral Trioxide Aggregate as an Apical Plug in Endodontic Management of Non-Vital Permanent Teeth with Open Apex: A Case Report

Apexification is a widely used technique to manage immature permanent teeth and can be performed either using calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) or mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA). This paper illustrates a case report of a unsuccessful apexification with Ca (OH)2 of amaxillary incisor that was then treated by an apical barrier made of MTA.

Mineral Trioxide Aggregate as an Apical Plug Material in Tooth with Open Apex: A Case Report

The conventional method of apexification with calcium hydroxide has certain disadvantages such as very long period of treatment, tooth fracture and an incomplete calcification of the bridge. Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) as an apical sealing material has gained importance as an alternative treatment for open apices. We report a case of complete healing of a periapical abscess after placement...

In-vitro evaluation of microleakage of an orthograde apical plug of mineral trioxide aggregate in permanent teeth with simulated immature apices.

This in vitro study evaluated the seal created by varying depths of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) plugs placed in an orthograde fashion in five groups of 10 teeth. One group received a 2 mm thick orthograde apical plug of MTA, the second group a 5 mm apical MTA plug, and the third group a 2 mm apical MTA plug with a second 2 mm increment, 24 h later. The remaining portion of the canal in the...

Evaluating the Accuracy of Two Microleakage Assessment Methods for Mineral Trioxide Aggregate and Calcium-enriched Mixture Cement

Introduction Multiple methods for evaluating microleakage have been introduced over the years, but there has been no agreement as to which technique will give more accurate results. The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy and results of fluid filtration and marginal adaptation methods for mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and calcium-enriched mixture (CEM) cement apical plugs. Method...
