Abstract

Apexification in one visit with Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) is beneficial in effectively sealing the open apices of young mutilated teeth. Although, placement of MTA through canals is difficult and many a times leads to over extrusion due to wide apex. This case report presents the outcome of extruded MTA during apexification in mandibular young permanent molars in children. On long term follow-up, complete healing of the periapical radiolucency was evident around MTA without any symptoms. MTA apexification in incisors have been found in literature, but very few cases are reported with long term follow up regards to young molars.
