Abstract Case Description: The aim of this case report is to present an endodontic and surgically managed maxillary left central incisor with an open apex and large periapical radiolucency using biomaterials like MTA and bone graft. Clinical Implications: Materials such as IRM, glass ionomer cement and amalgam have been used in the past as retrograde filling materials, but their use resulted in the formation of fibrous connective tissue adjacent to the bone. Because MTA allows the overgrowth of cementum and periodontal ligament, MTA may be an ideal material for certain endodontic procedures. Bone graft materials are used to facilitate the regeneration of bone tissues and close large lesions in the bone. Top Keywords Periapical lesion, retrograde filling, MTA, bone graft material. Top |
