Repair of Root Perforations Using Mineral Trioxide Aggregate – A Case Series
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 3
Abstract
Introduction: Canal perforation is an undesired complication that can occur during endodontic procedures. Earlier inadequacy of repair materials had contributed to the poor outcome of repair procedures. This case report includes cases of perforation repair with Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA), which has recently shown successful outcome. Method: The perforations were cleaned with sodium hypochlorite and saline and sealed with MTA without internal matrix. Result: After 1 year, the absence of periradicular lesions, pain, and swelling along with functional tooth stability indicated the successful use of MTA for repair. Conclusion: MTA has shown great potential as a material for repair of perforations.
