Immature teeth with necrotic pulp and large periapical lesion are difficult to treat via conventional endodontic therapy. The role of materials such as Calcium hydroxide and Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) are indispensable. This case report presents successful healing and apexification using MTA. Thermoplasticized obturating systems were used for back filling the canals against MTA plugs. This report is clinically relevant as it makes the dental fraternity aware of the fact that always with the huge periapical radiolucency, endodontic surgery is not the only option.
