“…59 More recently, the use of MTA has been recommended in some cases. 8,63 Early and accurate repositioning of the coronal fragment has been shown to reduce the likelihood of pulp necrosis. 64 Optimum repositioning should be verified radiographically.…”

“…In general, if pulp necrosis occurs, it will be confined to the coronal fragment. Should pulp necrosis develop, temporary filling of the root canal with calcium hydroxide for four to six months to the level of the fracture followed by root filling with gutta-percha or MTA 8,63 to that level is the treatment of choice. Under no circumstances should the pulp be removed beyond the level of the fracture in the first instance as doing so will compromise the long-term success of treatment.…”

Despite the many journal articles and reviews that have been published regarding the treatment of trauma to teeth, the endodontic management of these injuries is often still not fully understood. The purpose of this review is to establish clear and up-todate guidelines for practitioners who are faced with treating dental injuries on a day-to-day basis, based on an assessment of current available scientific information relating to the endodontic management of these injuries. Treatment is discussed under the headings: infractions, uncomplicated crown fractures, complicated crown fractures, crown-root fractures, root fractures, luxation injuries, avulsion, root resorption, pulp canal obliteration and open-apex teeth. Emphasis is placed on the treatment of traumatized immature teeth where maintenance of pulp blood supply is important to encourage continued development of the root system. Only the treatment of traumatized permanent anterior teeth is reviewed. Information contained in this article is based on a review of the literature on dental trauma which involved a MEDLINE search using the key words "dental trauma" and the individual topics listed above. The guidelines produced by the International Association of Dental Traumatology, the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and the American Association of Endodontists were also reviewed and the recommendations contained in this paper are in concert with the major recommendations of these bodies.

“…A few cases were reported to use titanium posts clinically in immature teeth. 7) Fiber posts have similar elastic modulus with dentin and can bond with resin cement through surface treatment and bonding procedure. In addition, fiber posts can transmit light to deeper part of the canal so they can improve degree of polymerization of resin cements.…”

“…6) Recently, a clinical approach has been introduced to use titanium post and MTA for root reinforcement. 7) Ideal materials for root reinforcement should bond to root dentin and have a similar elastic modulus with root dentin. 8) MTA lacks of bonding to dentin and has low strength in tension.…”

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of post types and sizes on fracture resistance in immature tooth model with various restorative techniques. Bovine incisors were sectioned 8 mm above and 12 mm below the cementoenamel junction to simulate immature tooth model. To compare various postand-core restorations, canals were restored with gutta-percha and resin core, or reinforced dentin wall with dual-cured resin composite, followed by placement of D.T. LIGHT-POST, ParaPost XT, and various sizes of EverStick Post individually. All of specimens were stored in the distilled water for 72 hours and underwent 6,000 thermal cycles. After simulation of periodontal ligament structure with polyether impression material, compressive load was applied at 45 degrees to the long axis of the specimen until fracture was occurred.Experimental groups reinforced with post and composite resin were shown significantly higher fracture strength than gutta-percha group without post placement (p < 0.05). Most specimens fractured limited to cervical third of roots. Post types did not influence on fracture resistance and fracture level significantly when cement space was filled with dual-cured resin composite. In addition, no statistically significant differences were seen between customized and standardized glass fiber posts, which cement spaces were filled with resin cement or composite resin individually. Therefore, root reinforcement procedures as above in immature teeth improved fracture resistance regardless of post types and sizes. [J Kor Acad Cons Dent 35(4):257-266, 2010]

“…Some studies reported that when MTA is used for orthograde root canal filling, its sealing ability is inferior 15) or superior 16) to that of gutta-percha. A few studies have shown that MTA is an effective root reinforcement material 17,18) . However, one of the drawbacks of MTA is the difficulty of its handling.…”

Comparison of root canal filling quality by mineral trioxide aggregate and gutta percha cones/AH plus sealer

et al. 2016

The aims of this study were to evaluate the quality of canal filling using mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and gutta-percha (GP) in root canals, and to investigate the differences in the percentage of voids between mesial and distal canals by using microcomputed tomography. Twenty-two extracted human mandibular molars were instrumented using rotary files. Two teeth without canal fillings served as negative controls, and the other teeth were obturated with either ProRoot ® MTA or gutta-percha and AH Plus ® sealer. Obturated teeth were scanned with microcomputed tomography, and the percentage of voids (V %) was calculated. These specimens were also examined under a scanning electron microscope. The MTA group showed a significantly higher V % than the GP groups (p<0.05). The mesial canal groups showed significantly higher V% than did the distal canal groups (p<0.05). In orthograde filling, MTA exhibited significantly lower filling quality than did GP.
