Paediatric endodontics. Part. 1: Portland Cements Apical Plug

Treatment of necrotic immature permanent anterior teeth with Portland cements apical plug. The long-term success of endodontic treatment depends on the quality of the apical and coronal seal. In necrotic immature teeth the treatment can be challenging for the clinician as the endodontic anatomy and the presence of bacterial infection need to be addressed with special techniques and materials in order to obtain an effective and biocompatible apical seal. Unfortunately, despite the best treatments, immature permanent teeth have a reduced resistance to fracture due to the arrest of root walls development.
