An Overview of Mineral Trioxide Aggregate in Apexification
Journal Title: Journal of Advances in Medicine and Medical Research - Year 2017, Vol 22, Issue 11
Abstract
Aim: The aim of this paper was to present an overview of Mineral Trioxide Aggregate adjacent to apexification, which discover the properties and clinical approach of MTA on apexification in dentistry. Materials and Methods: This study was to search in six electronic data bases where some keyword combinations were utilized to systematically search for those literatures. Results: In view of the inclusion and exclusion criteria, of these, we identified 40 articles including original articles as well as literature reviews. Discussion: Conventional management of a premature non-vital permanent tooth is usually apexification with using calcium hydroxide. Traditionally, calcium hydroxide has been the material of choice for the apexification of immature permanent teeth but MTA holds significant promise as an alternative to multiple treatments with calcium hydroxide. Conclusion: Mineral Trioxide Aggregate is an outstanding material with innumerable qualities essential of an ideal material. Apexification with calcium hydroxide is comparatively unpredictable and makes the tooth less resistant to fracture.
