ABSTRACT
Objective@#To analyze and evaluate the clinical application effect of bioceramic material mineral trioxide aggregate and iRoot BP plus on the formation of apical barrier in adult teeth with incomplete apical foramen.@*Methods@#A total of 200 permanent teeth with apical periodontitis whose apical foramen were not closed were randomly divided into two groups, and the apical barrier was prepared with MTA and iRoot BP plus, respectively. The operation time of MTA and iRoot BP plus and effects of different types of apical foramen destruction, lesion range of apical area, the filling of apical area and patients' age on the treatment success rate was analyzed and compared. @*Results@#The operation time of preparing apical barrier in iRoot BP plus group was shorter than that in MTA group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). However, different types of apical foramen destruction, lesion scope of apical area, filling of apical area and patients' age had no effect on the treatment success rate of the two groups (P>0.05). @*Conclusion@#The clinical effects of MTA and iRoot BP plus in the treatment of apical periodontitis of permanent teeth with unclosed apical foramen are similar, but the operation performance of iRoot BP plus is better.
