An immature tooth with necrotic pulp and periapical pathology imposes a great difficulty to the endodontists. The case becomes more difficult when the clinician comes across a rare presentation of tooth morphology. Endodontic treatment options for such teeth consist of conventional apexification procedures. This article demonstrates the recent concept of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) apical plug technique, for the management of a single rooted immature second molar with a single continuous canal.
