Furcal perforation repair using MTA — A clinical case series

The success of any endodontics therapy depends on, the diagnosis, treatment planning, access cavity preparation, maintenance and shaping following the canal obturation. Access is the initial and mainly crucial point of root canal treatment. For a good endodontic results well-designed access preparation is required. Perforations are a possible complication during root canal treatment. An assortment of materials including, calcium hydroxide, amalgam, glass ionomer, zinc oxide–eugenol and resin modified GI are being used for perforations. The idyllic material for treating perforations should be radiopaque and nonabsorbable. Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) with distinctiveness are as with high-quality outcomes in repair perforations. The idea of this case series is to explain the handling of furcal perforation.
