title: Use of mineral trioxide aggregrate in the non-surgical repair of perforating invasive cervical resorption.
abstract: Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) has shown potential as a repair material for perforations. This clinical case demonstrates that when MTA was used as a repair material for root perforation due to invasive cervical resorption, the tooth was well in function for 27 months. Both clinical and radiographic follow-up showed a stable condition without any probing defect, ongoing root resorption, or apical pathosis.
