Abstract

Immature roots with necrotic pulps in young permanent teeth are characterized by wide root canals with open apex and thin walls. Treatment of such teeth poses a great challenge. Traditionally such teeth were treated by apexification using calcium hydroxide and more recently by apical barrier technique using MTA apical plug. It is advised to use a resorbable and biocompatible apical matrix in cases involving MTA for careful condensation of the material in the apical region. This case report presents a successful outcome of apexification with the combined use of Mineral Trioxide Aggregate as an apical barrier and collagen membrane as an internal matrix.
