Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) is a powder containing calcium silicate composed of hydrophilic particles which harden at the presence of moisture. MTA was initially introduced as a root end filling material. Due its practical advantages that include superior biocompatility, effective sealing capability, and the ability to improve regeneration of the pulp and peripheral root tissues, it is use...

Nowadays, in endodontic field mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA; Dentsply, Tulsa Dental, Tulsa, OK, USA) has been introduced and widely used in many indications such as root-end filling, perforation repair, apexification, and pulp capping. Traditionally, various materials, such as amalgam, zinc oxide eugenol (ZOE), Intermediate Restorative Material (IRM; Dentsply Caulk, Milford, DE, USA), and sup...

Complicated crown-root fracture of permanent incisors cause esthetic, functional, and psychological problems to patients. Therefore, treatment is important and multidisciplinary treatment is required. This case report describes the clinical procedures involved in the treatment of trauma-induced complicated crown-root fractures in the maxillary incisor of two young patients. Conventional root ca...

Endodontic management of immature anterior teeth with necrotic pulps is a great challenge. Although there are different treatment procedures to deal with this problem such as apexification by using calcium hydroxide dressings or applying a barrier of mineral trioxide aggregate and gutta-percha obturation, the outcomes are still unsatisfactory and the root might still be weak. Recently, a new tr...

introduction: endodontic treatment in pulpless immature teeth is challenging due to the lack of an apical stop. insertion of an apical plug is an alternative to conventional long-term apexification with calcium hydroxide. the aim of this study was to compare the apical microleakage of mineral trioxide aggregate (mta) and calcium-enriched mixture (cem) cement as apical plugs with three different...

Introduction: The endodontic management of necrotic permanent immature teeth is a challenge for the practitioner. These are treated by apexification. However, because complications associated with this treatment, researchers have developed other therapies. Currently, new technique called pulp revascularization has emerged. This allows continuation root completion thanks to healthy tissue newly ...

Introduction: Revascularization is the newest treatment proposed for an immature permanent tooth with necrotic pulp. Revascularization is defined as a treatment process with a biological base which is aimed at replacing the lost structures and the continued development of roots. Case presentation: Patient was an eight-year-old child with the history of trauma to the maxillary anterior region. ...
