title: Mineral trioxide aggregate: a new material for the new millennium.
abstract: A midroot strip perforation can be a difficult problem to treat. Surgical treatment is arduous and has a poor prognosis. Variable success has been seen with the classic repair materials for nonsurgical treatment. Mineral trioxide aggregate seems to have incredible promise for sealing these defects with a good long-term prognosis.
