“…There was no significant increase in both dentinal wall thickness and also the rate of apical closure on tooth 21. This result differs from previous cases reported on immature teeth which reported complete apical closure after apexification using MTA [24,36]. However, from previously reported cases, there was no findings on condensing osteitis as an inflammatory response.…”

An overfilled root canal is the most common iatrogenic error in daily endodontic practice, especially on open apex tooth, which leads to chronic periapical inflammation and failure of endodontic therapy. With various materials and techniques available, the clinician must determine the ideal protocol to ensure successful endodontic treatment. This case report evaluates the outcome of the non-surgical, one-visit apexification using Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) of first maxillary incisor with an overfilled root canal, open apex, and condensing osteitis after four years follow-up. A 27-years-old woman was referred to Universitas Gadjah Mada Dental Hospital Yogyakarta due to biting pain and discoloration on first maxillary incisor with a history of trauma and endodontic treatment over 10 years ago. Periapical radiographs showed an overfilled open apex with condensing osteitis on the surrounding of the apex. Conventional endodontic retreatment was performed, followed by one-visit apexification using MTA. After 6 weeks, the biting pain relieved. Obturation and intracoronal bleaching then proceeded. Class IV composite was completed as a final restoration after 8 weeks of apexification. After 4 years follow-up, there was no sign and symptom and the condensing osteitis diameter reduced which indicated a successful treatment. This case supports the long-term evidence of former findings of the role of case selection, technique, and usage of MTA as one-visit apexification materials after a year follow-up. Furthermore, it provides a new perspective on the effect of MTA in the management of condensing osteitis. One-visit apexification using MTA is considered effective in the management of condensing osteitis due to gutta-percha extrusion in the long term

“…Although the color is like the color of the human dentine it does not perfectly match the original tooth color [24]. Due to the lower marginal leakage (264 s for MTA Angelus + GuttaFlow apical plug vs. 178 s for Acroseal sealer by the argon porosity method), MTA is considered the gold standard for apical resected teeth [25][26][27]. MTA flow during setting forms a layer of hydroxyapatite, which induces a healing reaction.…”

Dental cement materials have been developed with the aim to replace hard dental tissues. The first material used for pulp capping, root canal obturation, bifurcation perforation and apexification is calcium hydroxide (in 1920). A half century later, glass-ionomer cements began to suppress it as dentine substitutes. Finally, in the 1990s, calcium silicate (CS) material appeared in the dental research community as the most promising dentine substitute capable to adequately meet all clinical requirements. The aim of this paper is to present an overview of literature related to studies about CS materials taking into account their physical, chemical and biological properties and clinical applications. This review aims to discuss beneficial and adverse characteristics of CSs concerning interactions to the hard dentine and soft pulp/periodontal tissues. This review article deals with the literature data about currently commercially available CS concerning laboratory and clinical findings. 109 scientific articles were analyzed of which 62 references reported in vitro and 26 in vivo investigations while 21 references comprised reports, reviews and books dealing with both, in vitro and in vivo investigations. Although further data collection is necessary, CSs are promising materials that represent a gold standard for numerous dental clinical procedures.
