MTA apexification as a savior of questionable tooth: A Case report

Abstract

Treatment of traumatized immature teeth poses a challenge for clinician. Apexification is considered to be the treatment of choice for non-vital young permanent teeth. The present report, highlight the case of traumatized young permanent tooth where apexificationwas achieved in a previously endodontically treated tooth. Endodontic treatment of immature permanent teeth without apical barrier leads to failure of treatment due to incomplete sealing of the canal. Also, the success of endodontic treatment is determined by the quality of obturation. In wide canals, traditional obturating technique may result in spaces being left in the canal space. Obturation using rolled cone technique to achieve a good seal is used in the present case. Keywords: MTA Apexification, Rolled cone technique, Traumatic injury.
