title: Management of traumatically injured pulps in immature teeth using MTA.
abstract: Maintaining pulpal health during tooth development is an important goal in managing traumatic injuries in the immature dentition. The introduction of mineral trioxide aggregate has offered an improved method for pulp protection in such cases. This article describes a technique using MTA for vital pulp therapy on teeth with crown fractures that have resulted in pulp exposure.
