Abstract

Surgical treatment involves the placement of a material designed to seal the root canal contents from the periradicular tissues and repair root defects. An ideal endodontic repair material ideally would adhere to tooth structure, maintain a sufficient seal, be insoluble in tissue fluids, dimensionally stable, non-resorbable, radiopaque, and exhibit biocompatibility. The diverse application of Mineral Trioxide Aggregate in the practice of paediatric dentistry is evident in its use as an apical barrier in immature non-vital teeth and in the coronal fragment of fractured roots, as a pulpotomy medicament in primary and permanent teeth, a pulp capping agent in young permanent teeth, and as a repair material for perforation and resorptive defects.
