Treatment of a non-vital immature incisor with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA).
- A case of severe crown fracture and luxation in the upper permanent incisors of a 9-year-old boy is reported. The treatment of one of the injured teeth included apexification with calcium hydroxide and endodontic treatment with gutta-percha obturation. The other incisor was also treated with calcium hydroxide, but as there was no apical stop after 3 years of treatment, it was decided to use a new root-end filling material: mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA). At follow-up 12 months later, the tooth was asymptomatic and radiographically showed the initial repair of the radiolucent apical lesion.
