Main Article Content
Abstract
Apexification is a technique used to induce the hard tissue formation at the apical region of nonvital immature tooth. The material most common used in this process is calcium hydroxide because of its good properties such as pulp tissue solvent, antibacterial, apical root closure stimulation. However the time required for the barrier formation is difficult to predict. Therefore Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) is suggested to be used alternatively dued to its many good properties such as biocompatibility, less cytotoxicity, promoting hard tissue formation and good sealing ability, moreover the procedure can be done in one visit. This article presents the clinical success of MTA apexification in nonvital and incompleted root formation tooth
Key word: apexification, mineral trioxide aggregate
