333 - MTA in Apexification of Young Permanent Incisor: A Case Report

Traumatic injury to permanent teeth and supporting structures typically require an immediate diagnosis and treatment as the prognosis and survivability of the tooth are time-sensitive. This case report details the dental rehabilitation of a 6 year old female pediatric patient 1 day after a horizontal root fracture at the apical third and extrusive luxation of tooth #8 by 3-4mm. Splinting and repositioning of the tooth was done by the referring dentist and follow up care was performed 3 days after trauma at UNLV SDM Pediatric Clinic. This case study demonstrates the use of evidence-based principles to dictate the treatment plan with the use of MTA in order to induce apexification to create a favorable outcome.
