Repair of root perforation using mineral trioxide aggregate: two case reports

ABSTRACT

Root perforation repair has historically Seen an unpredictable treatment modality with an unacceptably high rate of clinical failure, Inadequacy of the repair materials has been a contributing factor to the poor outcome of repair procedures. Mineral trioxide aggregate [MTA] is a relatively new material that is being successfully used to repair perforations. This article reports the findings of research done on MTA used as a material to repair root perforations and presents two clinical cases where MTA was successfully utilized to repair root perforation
