Abstract

Background: Necrosis of permanent immature teeth is a common reason for consultation in paediatric dentistry. Apexification is a therapeutic procedure aiming to create an apical calcified barrier in open apex teeth.

Case Report: Two cases are presented in which apexification were completed on immature permanent traumatised incisors using a mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) plug.

Follow-up: At 2 and 5 years showed apical closure and radicular elongation beyond the MTA plug.

Conclusion: Unexpectedly, a regeneration of mineral tissues beyond the MTA plug occurred which is an uncommon outcome.
