Abstract:
Mineral trioxide aggregate, or MTA, is a biocompatible material that has demonstrated numerous clinical applications in endodontics. It appears to be an improvement over other materials for use in procedures that involve root repair and bone healing, as it has consistently demonstrated the ability to promote regeneration of the original tissues when it is placed in contact with the periradicular tissues. This article describes the use of MTA for the successful non-surgical repair of an iatrogenic post perforation.
