Complicated crown fracture: a case report.
This case report describes the treatment of a severe crown fracture of an immature mandibular permanent incisor in a 12 year-old boy referred to the Dental Traumatology Center of UNIGRANRIO University. After conventional endodontic procedures and dressing with calcium hydroxide, an apical plug was made with mineral trioxide aggregate in order to avoid an overflow of gutta-percha and endodontic sealer into the periapical tissues. Two years later, the tooth was clinically asymptomatic and radiographs showed total repair of the apical lesion.
