Case Report: ProRoot MTA degradation in a compromised tooth: secondary trauma and acidic microenvironment leading to retreatment with Biodentine

This case highlights MTA's susceptibility to acidic degradation in compromised conditions and supports Biodentine as a potentially more pH-resistant alternative. Clinicians should be vigilant when treating traumatized, orthodontically compromised teeth and prioritize restorative materials with high stability in hostile environments to minimize treatment failure risk.

Abstract

This case highlights MTA's susceptibility to acidic degradation in compromised conditions and supports Biodentine as a potentially more pH-resistant alternative. Clinicians should be vigilant when treating traumatized, orthodontically compromised teeth and prioritize restorative materials with high stability in hostile environments to minimize treatment failure risk.
