Introduction: Immature teeth (IT) can be managed by using several treatment options, depending on the vitality of the tooth. The aim of this finite element stress analysis study was to evaluate the effect of different treatment procedures on the stresses in three-dimensional IT models.
Methods: Three-dimensional finite element stress analysis premolar tooth model was created as control (model 1), modified to simulate IT. Eleven models were created to simulate IT filled with (model 2) calcium hydroxide (CH), (model 3) mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), (model 4) Biodentine (B), (models 5 and 6) MTA plug and B plug without root-filling, (models 7 and 8) MTA plug and B plug with root-filling with composite restoration, and amputation by using (model 9) CH, (model 10) MTA, and (model 11) B. Materials and structures were assumed to be homogenous and isotropic. A 300 N load was applied to the models from the functional cusps and central fossa with a 135° angle. Cosmosworks structural analysis program was used. The results were presented considering the von Mises criteria, and the scale range was limited to 0-10 + MPa.
Results: CH use in comparison with temporary filling increased the stresses within the root. MTA filling showed less stresses when compared with B filling. MTA and B plug increased the stresses at apical and root; however, when the roots were filled using gutta-percha and the crowns were restored with composite resin, the stresses at the coronal side of the roots were reduced. The stresses were distributed more favorably in the models simulating CH, MTA, or B amputation. Amputation by using MTA and B showed similar stresses with natural tooth model.
Conclusions: CH is not a favorable dressing material for IT when compared with MTA and B. MTA or B plug increases the stresses at apical, whereas root-filling reduces the stresses within the root. Amputation by using CH, MTA, and B in combination with composite resin restoration may save both the coronal and root structure of IT.

Background: This study evaluates the fracture resistance of apical plugs created from Biodentine and mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) in thicknesses of 3 and 5 mm within simulated open apex tooth models.
Methods: Fifty human maxillary central incisors were obtained from a pool of freshly extracted teeth. In order to replicate open apices without cavity preparation, ten teeth in the control group received apical-to-coronal preparation with Peeso reamers.

The absence of a barrier in an open root apex makes endodontic treatment challenging as root-filling material can easily reach the surrounding tissue. The aim of the study was to compare the apical microleakage associated with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), biodentine, custom-made gutta-percha with MTA plus and custom-made gutta-percha with Adseal in immature permanent teeth by dye penetration method. Apical 2 mm of 60 single-rooted mandibular premolar teeth was resected to create divergent open apices and 10 teeth each were filled with Biodentine plug, MTA plug, custom-made gutta-percha with MTA plus sealer and custom-made gutta-percha with Adseal sealer.

Article Synopsis
- The study focused on comparing the bond strength of traditional White MTA and NeoMTA 2 in immature permanent teeth treated with different disinfection protocols.
- The methods involved preparing root canals of extracted teeth and dividing them into four groups based on the disinfectants used, with push-out bond strength measured afterward.
- Results indicated that using HEBP as a disinfectant provided significantly better bond strength compared to EDTA, with both MTA types showing similar performance, suggesting HEBP as a viable alternative to EDTA.
Evaluation of microleakage of mineral trioxide aggregate and biodentine as apical barriers in simulated young permanent teeth.

Background: Apexification is a procedure that promotes apical closure by forming mineralized tissue in the apex region of a nonvital young permanent tooth. Calcium silicate-based cement like Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and Biodentine are commonly employed as apical barriers to facilitate this process. Microleakage, defined as the leakage along the junction between the canal wall and filling material, is a crucial aspect to assess in MTA and Biodentine applications as apical barriers, as it directly impacts the prevention of bacterial seepage and maintenance of structural integrity.
