Apexification with apical plug of MTA-Report of Case.
Journal Title: International Journal of Dental Science and Innovative Research (IJDSIR) - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Traumatic injuries are more common in anterior teeth especially maxillary central incisors where 16% are complicated fractures involving pulp. The prevalence of dental traumatic injuries ranges from 13.8-15.1% [1-3]. When severe, results in inflammation of pulp and later advances to pulpal necrosis. Trauma which occurring in young age affects the root formation and leads to incomplete development of dentinal walls at root apices, which results in Blunderbass canals.[1-6] Morse et al. reported that placing calcium hydroxide in management of incompletely formed roots showed better results, Apexification is the treatment of choice by inducing a calcific barrier at the root apices, which can be done for all ages using MTA, a root canal repair material developed at the beginning of 1990s at Loma Linda University in California. MTA showed better results than multiple visit calciumhydroxides dressing in many recent studies[7-11] The present case reports highlight the non-surgical management of asymptomatic tooth with blunderbuss canal using MTA apical plug technique.
