Patient Comfort and Recovery: A Comparison of MTA and Biodentine for Apexification in Young Permanent Central Incisors: 2 Case Reports

Abstract This case study aims to document a successful treatment of traumatized immature young permanent central incisors. An effective treatment option for immature permanent teeth with an open apex is apexification. It is described as a technique to create a calcified barrier in a root that has an open apex or in teeth with necrotic pulp tissue where the apical growth of an incompletely formed root continues. These case series detail two case reports of young immature permanent teeth with open apices that underwent an apexification treatment using both MTA and Biodentine. After that additional obturation was finished. Excellent biocompatibility has been demonstrated by both materials, which are beneficial for the efficient treatment of teeth with an open apex. That is a far more practical and less time-consuming process.
