NIEDERMAIER, Katherynn Crespi  e  GUERISOLI, Danilo Mathias Zanello. Apexification with MTA apical plug in traumatized tooth. Rev. Bras. Odontol. [online]. 2013, vol.70, n.2, pp. 213-215. ISSN 1984-3747.

The treatment of traumatized young teeth requires special attention due to the presence of open apex and thin dentine walls, preventing conventional endodontic treatment. Therefore, it is necessary perform a procedure to induce formation of mineralized barrier with the aid of a biocompatible materials such as calcium hydroxide and mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA). The aim of this study is report a case wich it was decided to perform apexification with calcium hydroxide for ten months, and after confirmation of the existence a barrier, held filling with apical plug of MTA and gutta percha. The apexification is a technique of high success rate, so devoted to the process of incomplete root formation.
