Two successful cases of root perforation repair using mineral troxide aggregate

ABSTRACT

Root perforation repair has historically been 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 material to repair root perforations and presents two clinical cases where MTA was successfully utilized to repair root perforation
