Mineral Trioxide Aggregate as an Apical Plug Material in Tooth with Open Apex: A Case Report
نویسنده
چکیده
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 of MTA apical plug, after the root canals were debrided and rinsed with sodium hypochlorite. The remaining portion of the root canal was obturated using lateral condensation technique, and a crown was placed. After 6 months of follow‐up complete healing of the periapical lesion was noticed this was evident radiologically. This case report suggests that use of MTA as an apical sealing material is a significant alternative to the conventional methods of apexification.

External inflammatory root resorption (EIR) represents a challenge in endodontic practice. EIR commonly occurs after dental trauma that results in periodontal ligament injury, pulp necrosis and subsequent infection. Treatment of EIR is based on disinfecting the root canal system through chemomechanical procedures and then filling it with calcium hydroxide or triple antibiotic paste. Dental tra...

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.

The absence of a natural apical constriction in permanent tooth makes endodontic treatment a challenge. Traditionally, calcium hydroxide was used for inducing the formation of an apical barrier. Currently, mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) has shown promising results for apexification procedures. In an open apex, it is imperative to limit the MTA placement within the confines of the root canal f...

Apexification with calcium hydroxide is associated with certain difficulties, such as longer treatment time, risk of tooth fracture and incomplete calcification of apical bridge. Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) is an alternative material that can be used for apexification of open apices due to its biocompatibility, non-mutagenicity, non-neurotoxicity, regenerative abilities, and good sealing p...

Teeth with open apices, such as in immature teeth or those with apical root resorption are clinical cases with difficult immediate resolution. With the use of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) in dentistry, it was possible to optimize the treatment time of these cases by immediate placement of apical plug and the root canal filling. However, some negative effects can occur if MTA is extruded bey...
