Abstract
The Endodontic perforations are artificial openings that result in the communication of the root canal system with the perirradicular tissues or oral cavity. These are undesirable complications that can occur during any stage of root canal treatment, or during the preparation of the space for the bolt. Although they can be produced by cavities or resorptive processes, the majority of the perforations are made iatrogenically. The therapeutic management of root perforations throughout history has been a critical and ongoing investigation topic in search of the development of suitable materials for their sealing, but the mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) is the mostly used as a guarantee of success in such a procedure due to its physical and biochemical properties, such as biocompatibility, and regenerative bone, cementum and periodontal ligament. This case demonstrates the nonsurgical success obtained from the sealing of a contaminated apical perforation using MTA in the affected area, and the use of thermoplastic gutta for the complementary filling in upper anterior tooth.References
