Abstract

Treatment of teeth with open apex requires careful handling and diligence in clinical practice. Prognosisof endodontic treatment in such cases is directly related to the quality of apical obturation. Previously,a calcified barrier using calcium hydroxide treatment was recommended as an approach for these caseshowever due to various drawback of this method, current management approach suggests apexificationthrough an apical plug at the apical segment. This report describes two cases of apexification of upperleft incisor using mineral trioxide aggregate plug. After two year follow up, both teeth are clinicallyand radio graphically asymptomatic and the healing of the apical area is visible.
