Repair of Iatrogenic Furcal Perforation With Mineral Trioxide Aggregate: A Case Report.

In endodontic and restorative procedures, an accidental perforation of the pulp chamber floor or roots presents a considerable risk, potentially leading to persistent inflammatory responses and ultimately tooth loss. Accidental root canal perforations are primary complications encountered by clinicians, requiring either surgical or non-surgical intervention, depending on the severity of the perforation. Over the years, various materials have been utilized for the treatment of such complications, but mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) stands out prominently due to its exceptional biocompatibility, remarkable sealing capacity, and potent antibacterial properties. The unique ability of MTA to set in the presence of moisture facilitates the formation of a robust seal, thereby making it highly effective in managing root perforations and fostering tissue regeneration within the affected area. Its versatility and effectiveness have made MTA a cornerstone material in modern endodontic therapy, offering clinicians a reliable solution for enhancing the long-term prognosis of teeth affected by perforations.
