Abstract

Traumatic injuries during early childhood interfere with root development leading to the formation of a
tooth with an open apex. Apexification is considered as the best choice for the treatment of such cases. Use
Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) as apical plug material optimizes the treatment outcome. Other than
MTA different techniques are also used to restore the function and stability of the immature permanent
tooth. In this case report 3 different techniques are used to treat the open apex. In the first case, MTA apical
plug along with backfill was done. Complete canal obturation with MTA and custom cone technique were
performed for the second and third cases respectively.
