Management of furcation perforation using Mineral trioxide aggregate in Young permanent molar- A 12 months follow up

Abstract

One of the significant iatrogenic complications during endodontic treatment is Furcal perforations which may lead to endodontic failure. Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) has been regarded as an ideal material for perforation repair. This case report describes repair of furcal perforation in a young permanent mandibular molar of a 10year-old male patient using MTA. The tooth was treated endodontically followed by placement of zirconia crown in respect to 46. Follow-up was done 3 months, 6 months, 9 months and 12 months. After 12 months of follow-up, complete barrier formation of the furcation area was seen and no pain in relation to tooth no 46.
