Root Canal Treatment of Pulp Necrosis in Traumatized Immature Permanent Tooth using MTA Apexification

Abstract

The main objective of root canal treatment after cleaning and shaping is complete obturation of root canal space to prevent reinfection. In teeth with pulp necrosis and incomplete root formation caused by caries, trauma or other pathological condition, cannot be disinfected properly with standard file and the lack of apical constriction makes control of filling materials difficult. MTA apexification is an alternative treatment because of the advantages of material enhancement sealing ability, biocompatibility and hard tissue forming capacity. This report presents the clinical success of MTA apexification in non vital traumatized and immature permanent upper right central incisor tooth, in the patient at the age of 9
