Abstract

Single Visit Apexification With Mineral Trioxide Aggregate

Anil Kumar G, Anusha T

Mineral trioxide aggregate appears to be a promising alternative to calcium hydroxide apexification because of its high biocompatibility, superior sealing ability and reduced treatment time.. Two case reports where the patients presented with fractured upper anterior teeth. Radiographic evaluation revealed open apices with blunderbuss canals. Apical stop was created with mineral trioxide aggregate by apexification and the root canals were obturated with thermoplasticized guttapercha.
