📝Abstract

Traumatic dental injuries to teeth with an immature apex results in pulpal necrosis and an open apex that pose a significant challenge for complete debridement, disinfection and three dimensional obturation of the root canal system. Apexification is a procedure to promote an artificial apical barrier across an open apex in a non-vital tooth to accommodate the filling materials within the confines of the root canal. Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) has emerged as a promising material owing to its biocompatibility and superior sealing ability. This is a report of two cases with immature apex treated successfully using MTA as an apical plug.

Key Words: Mineral Trioxide Aggregate, Apexification, Single Step Apexification.
