Management of a furcal perforation with Mineral Trioxide Aggregate: A case report
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 12
Abstract
Mineral trioxide aggregate is a versatile material with numerous clinical applications such as a root end filling material, in cases of pulp capping, pulpotomy, apexification, apexogenesis, etc due to its inherent superior properties like the biocompatibility and sealing ability. Perforation of the furcation area is an untoward incident that may occur during root canal treatment. Poor prognosis of furcal perforations may be attributed to the bacterial leakage or lack of biocompatibility of repair materials. Based on the recent studies conducted on the physical and biologic properties of MTA, this material may be considered suitable for sealing the communication between the pulp chamber and the underlying periodontal tissue. The current article describes the clinical management of a furcal perforation with MTA, highlighting the long term clinical success exhibited by the material.
