The application of MTA in single-visit apexification treatment: A prospective study

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Apexification is a treatment procedure used to induce a calcified barrier at the apex of an immature tooth with an open root canal, often as a result of pulpal necrosis or trauma. Hence, this prospective study evaluates the clinical efficacy of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) in achieving apexification in a cohort of 85 patients with immature, non-vital teeth. A total of 85 patients with immature permanent teeth requiring apexification were enrolled in this prospective clinical study. Each patient underwent a one-visit apexification procedure using MTA as the apical barrier material. Radiographic analysis showed the formation of a calcified barrier in most cases. Thus, one-visit apexification using MTA is an effective and efficient technique for managing immature, non-vital teeth.
