“…Doxycycline was chosen over minocycline as it has the same antibiotic effect as concluded by Ritter et al (22) in 2004, but with less discoloration effect as proved by Reynolds et al (21) in 2008, Kim et al (22) in 2010. Discoloration was further decreased in this study by coating the walls of access cavity by flowable composite prior to the application of TAP.…”

Introduction: The purpose of the study was to compare the effectiveness of pulp revascularization and MTA apexification in the treatment of necrotic anterior teeth with periapical abscess. Methods: twenty-two patients, each with necrotic immature permanent anterior teeth were randomly divided into 2 groups (Group A apexification and group B regeneration) 11 patient per each group. A triantibiotic paste (metronidazole, ciprofloxacin and doxycycline) was used to disinfect the canal for 21 days. MTA plug was used for apexification for group A. Blood clot regeneration was used for the group B. The patients were recalled periodically for follow up. Results: The regeneration group showed better results in, increase in root length, increase in dentin thickness in mm, and in percentage, while MTA apexification group showed better results in decrease in apical diameter in millimeter. Conclusions: Both regeneration and MTA apexification are reliable procedures for treating necrotic immature anterior teeth with open apices.

“…Apexification treatment by using MTA plugs is highly successful 16,30) and possesses several advantages such as shorter treatment time, creation of a good apical seal and an apical barrier on which obturation material might be condensed 30) . Despite these advantages, immature teeth are susceptible to fracture due to their thin and weak root canal walls 4) .…”

Interaction of backfilling techniques and MTA plugs with additives: Fracture strength and adaptation analyses

et al. 2017

The aims were to evaluate the effects of different additives on the adaptation of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) plugs before and after different backfilling techniques and analyze the interference of filling procedures on the fracture resistance of simulated immature teeth. The apical parts of 60 teeth were filled with MTA mixed with distilled water (DW), propylene glycol (PG) or calcium chloride (CaCl2) and backfilled with cold lateral condensation (CLC) or warm vertical compaction (WVC). The specimens were subjected to adaptation analysis and fracture testing. CaCl2 addition resulted in poor marginal adaptation, while PG addition significantly decreased the fracture values (p<0.05). WVC technique negatively affected the marginal adaptation of MTA-CaCl2 plugs and decreased the fracture values of teeth with MTA-PG plugs (p<0.05). Mixing MTA with DW can be recommended as apical plug when the remaining root canal space is going to be filled with either CLC or WVC techniques.
