Evaluation of one-visit apexification with MTA apical plug versus traditional Calcium hydroxide apexification with the help of Platelet Rich Fibrin apical matrix

Apexification with apical plug of MTA- report of cases

Back ground: Immature teeth with necrotic pulp and large periapical lesion are difficult to treat via conventional endodontic therapy. The role of materials such as calcium hydroxide and Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) are indispensable. These case reports present successful healing and apexification using MTA. Methods: The case reports present two cases with traumatized upper anterior teeth. ...

Regenerative Potential Of Platelet Rich Fibrin With MTA In Non- Vital Immature Apex: A Case Report

Treatment of a non vital tooth with necrotic pulp and immature apex is a great challenge to the clinician. In obturation for gutta-percha condensation, there should be an apical barrier to avoid extrusion of cements and gutta-percha into the apical area leading to periapical trauma. Apexification is a method which is used for treatment of such tooth with open apex. It is defined as “a method to...

Absorbable Suture as an Apical Matrix in Single Visit Apexification with Mineral Trioxide Aggregate

Several procedures have been recommended to induce the root end barrier formation in teeth with open apices. Conventional treatment for such cases will require many appointments with an average duration of 12.9 months. During this period, the root canal is susceptible to reinfection from around the provisional restoration, which may promote apical periodontitis and arrest of apical repair. Mine...

Conventional Multivisit Calcium Hydroxide Apexification with Rare Apexogenesis Like Outcome and Novel Single Visit MTA Apexification Followed by Root Reinforcement with Fiber Post: Two Case Reports

Completion of root development takes around 3 years after eruption of permanent teeth. Any pulpal injury in this period can lead to necrosis of pulp. Pulp necrosis of immature permanent teeth may impair root development and apical closure of root canals. Management of immature non vital teeth is very challenging for a clinician because teeth may have wide open apex and thin root canal walls tha...
