Apexification Using MTA Plus as an Apical Plug- 2 Case Reports

Dr. Geeta Hiremath, Dr. Balaram Naik and Dr. Shilpa Shetty

Trauma to young permanent tooth with incomplete root suffers pulpal necrosis. Such teeth are managed non surgically, surgically and by apexification. These conditions usually result in difficulty in obturation, fracture of the root and consequently failure of treatment. In such cases, in order to allow the condensation of root filing material and to promote an apical seal, it is imperative to create an artificial apical barrier or induce the closure of apical foramen with calcified tissue by apexification. This paper discusses 2 such traumatic cases which are managed by apexification using a novel material MTA Plus.
