Objectives: To evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of apexogenesis with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) against other pulpotomy agents in carious/traumatized immature permanent teeth.
Data Source: A web-based search for possibly relevant scientific papers in the English language between January 2013 and August 2022 was undertaken in the databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Library, and EMBASE. Only randomized clinical trials that compared MTA against other pulpotomy medicaments conducted in vital immature permanent dentition with open apex, having a sample size of not less than 20 with at least 6 months follow-up, reporting clinical or radiographic outcomes were included in the current review.
Introduction: After orthodontic treatment, some teeth undergo external root resorption due to different factors, such as the root shape, oral habits, biological and genetic factor, gender, and age. Furthermore, extraction cases, long treatment duration, and the amount of force applied during the treatment might be related to root resorption.
Materials And Methods: Panoramic radiographs for 226 patients treated in the orthodontic department were screened.
