APEX TO SUCCESS- MTA APEXIFICATION IN MAXILLARY LATERAL INCISOR: A CASE REPORT

In endodontic therapy, the primary goal is to completely ll the root canal space to prevent reinfection. When dealing with teeth that have incomplete root development due to trauma, decay, or other pulpal issues, the absence of a natural constriction at the root canal's end presents a challenge in controlling obturating materials. The objective is to seal the signicant communication between the root canal system and the surrounding tissues and to create a barrier against which the obturation material can be effectively compacted. This case report describes the successful management of a permanent maxillary lateral incisor with an open apex using Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) for apexication.
