Apexification with rapid MTA plug technique

Immature permanent teeth create an endodontic challenge for complete asepsis and three dimensional obturation of the root canal system. Apexification forms an apical barrier or a stop against which one can place root canal filling material avoiding over extrusion. Until recently, the most widely accepted material of choice for apexification was Ca(OH)2 but its many disadvantages has gradually steered clinicians toward the use of alternative material such as mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) as an apical barrier. Presented herewith is a clinical case report wherein non-vital young permanent tooth was being managed using apexification with MTA.
