The combination of a mineral trioxide aggregate and an adhesive restorative approach to treat a crown-root fracture coupled with lateral root perforation in a mandibular second molar: a case report.
The current paper describes a modified treatment procedure for a traumatized mandibular left second molar resulting in a crown-root fracture and root perforation with the fracture line below the gingival attachment and alveolar bone crest. After the mobile crown-root fragment was extracted, the root perforation was obturated with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), and the subgingival defect was directly repaired with polyacid-modified resin composites (Ionosite Baseline). A 24-month recall showed no evidence of periodontal inflammation and no adverse symptoms, and the treated tooth exhibited good healing and normal function.
