The Management of Crown Fracture of Immature Teeth by MTA and Calcium Hydroxide: Case Reports

Buthina Alhaddad*,Ildikó Tarján,Noémi Rózsa

This article describes the treatment of immature maxillary central incisors associated with complicated crown fracture with periapical lesion in two clinical cases. For the first, the root-canal was filled with Ca(OH)2 (calcium hydroxide) as an interim dressing followed by mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA). In the second case, an incomplete obturation of left maxillary central incisor, the root canal was filled with calcium hydroxide.

The advantages and disadvantages of Ca(OH)2 and MTA are discussed. Both materials are effective in the treatment of immature teeth. The advantages of MTA demonstrate its potential for replacing calcium hydroxide in endodontic procedures in the near future.
