Abstract
Traumatic injuries in young patients can result in the interruption of the development of the incompletely formed roots. In teeth with incomplete root-end formation and necrotic pulps, the root canals must be completely debrided. Because of a lack of an apical stop and the presence of thin and fragile walls in these teeth, it is imperative to perform apexification to obtain an adequate apical seal. Calcium hydroxide has become the material of choice for apexification. Despite its popularity for the apexification procedure, calcium hydroxide therapy has some inherent disadvantages that include variablility of treatment time, unpredictability of apical closure, difficulty in patient follow-up, and delayed treatment. An alternative treatment to long-term apexification procedure is the use of an artificial apical barrier that allows immediate obturation of the canal. MTA(Mineral Trioxide Aggregate) is a powder consisting of fine hydrophilic particles of tricalcium silicate, tricalcium aluminate, tricalcium oxide and silicate oxide. MTA has a pH of 12.5 after setting, similar to calcium hydroxide. This may impart some antimicrobial properties. MTA has low solubility and a radiopacity slightly eater than that of dentin. Also, MTA leaked significantly less than other materials and induced hard-tissue formation more than other materials.
소아환자에 있어 외상성 손상은 미완성된 치근의 발육을 방해할 수 있다. 미완성된 치아의치수가 괴사된 경우 근관은 완전히 세척되어져야 한다. 그러나 apical stop이 부족하고 얇고 부서지기 쉬운 치수벽 때문에 적절한 apical seal을 얻기 위해서는 치근단 형성술을 시행해야 한다. 지금까지 수산화 칼슘이 치근단 형성술의 선택약제가 되어왔다. 그러나, 수산화칼슘을 이용한 치근단 형성술은 치료시기가 다양하고, apical closure도 불확실하며, 환자 follow up이 어렵고, 치료가 늦어지는 한계가 있다. 이에 인공적인 apical barrier를 형성시켜 근관의 즉각적인 충전을 할 수 있는 MTA(Mineral Trioxide Aggregate, DENTSPLY Tulsa Dental, U.S.A)를 이용하였다. MTA는 tricalcium silicate, tricalcium aluminate, tricalcium oxide와 silicate oxide와 같은 친수성 입자로 구성된다. 또한 소량의 mineral oxide와 bismuth oxide powder를 포함한다. MTA는 경화후 pH가 수산화칼슘 또는
