Abstract:
Objective:To observe the clinical effect of apical barrier and perforation repair with mineral trioxide aggregate.Methods:Selected 23 samples from out-patients of the department of conservative dentistry of oral disease treatment center of 306 Hospital of PLA.Among them,7 samples were with unshaped root apical,6 samples were with lateral perforation from root canal internal absorption or root fracture,10 samples were iatrogenic lateral perforation.The course of the disease was 0.5-24 months.The images of dental films showed that there was shadow around the root or apical area in all the samples.All the samples received regular root canal treatment.Under root canal microscope,the open sites were sealed with MTA.After the barrier formed,filled the root canal with warm gutta-percha vertical compaction technique.Patients were ordered to re-check on 6 months and 12 months respectively.Results:1 sample dropped out.On 6 months visit,1 sample showed enlarged shadow at the apical area,20 samples showed shrinked shadow,1 sample showed no significant change.On 12 months visit,the shadow vanished in 9 samples;the shadow decreased in 5 samples,and there were 2 samples showed no significant changes.Conclusion:The treatment with MTA on apical barrier and perforation shows acceptable effect in short term observation.The use of microscope helps to enhance the accuracy and leak tightness of MTA filling.
