Previous studies have demonstrated the efficacy of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) in repair of furcal perforation. In this article, the use of MTA in treating 2 cases of furcal perforation (accidental and caries-related) and subsequent long-term follow-up are described.

Teeth with furcal perforation present difficult resolution and dubious prognosis. Several materials have been proposed and calcium silicate-based cements such as mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) are the most recommended. However, its long-term clinical behavior still remains poorly understood. The present study reports a clinical case of furcal perforation repair using Angelus MTA, with a 7-yea...

The purpose of this research was to study the marginal adaptation of eight calcium silicate-based materials when used to seal large furcal perforations, compared with one resin-modified glass-ionomer cement by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Сonclusion:All tested calcium silicate-based materials showed good marginal adaptation and are suitable for large furcal perforation repair.

Furcal perforation is usually an undesired complication that can occur during preparation of an endodontic access cavities or exploring canal orifice of multirooted teeth. Inadequacy of the repair materials has been a contributing factor to the poor outcome of repair procedures. On the basis of the recent physical and biologic property studies of the relatively new introduced mineral trioxide a...

objective: furcal perforation is an undesirable complication that may occur during root canal therapy and seriously compromises the prognosis of endodontic treatment. the prognosis of furcal perforation repair depends on the prevention of bacterial infection of the perforation site. thus, use of a biocompatible material for complete sealing of the perforation site is critically important. this ...

One of the significant iatrogenic complications during endodontic treatment is Furcal perforations which may lead to failure. Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) has been regarded as an ideal material for perforation repair. This case report describes repair furcal in a young permanent mandibular molar 10year-old male patient using MTA. The tooth was treated endodontically followed by placement zi...

Following furcal perforation, bacteria may colonize the defect and cause inflammation periodontal destruction. This study used confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) to evaluate Enterococcus faecalis colonization proliferation in perforations repaired with different materials. Furcal created 55 extracted human mandibular molars were using either MTA-Angelus, Endocem, or Biodentine coronally ...

INTRODUCTION Furcal perforations are one of the most challenging causes of endodontic failures. Several materials including MTA have been used for non surgical repair of these perforations. The aim of this study was to compare treatment outcome of furcal perforation treatment in primary molars using Root MTA and ProRoot MTA. MATERIALS AND METHODS This in vitro study was conducted on 54 primar...
