Abstract:
Pulp necrosis of immature permanent teeth with periapical pathology represents a significant challenge for clinical management as root development ceases and open apices remain. Currently there is a paradigm shift in the management of such cases from traditional surgical procedures towards non-surgical apexification procedures using artificial apical barriers. The aim of this paper is to present a case of non-surgical management of a traumatized tooth with large periapical lesion using MTA for single step apexification.
