From: Marga Ree To: ROOTS Sent: Saturday, May 05, 2007 10:22 PM Subject: [roots] MTA again This 10 year old boy sustained a trauma one year ago, luxation of 11, 21 was intruded, and there were oncomplicated crown fractures on 11, 21 and 22. One year later, a radiolucency was present on 21, and his dentist referred him for an apexification. Severe bleeding and drainage of pus upon opening, Ca(OH)2 for 1 month. Second session: placement of a barrier of CaSO4 and an apical plug of MTA. Today I finished treatment. Because this tooth might need a facing or crown in the future, I placed a post on top of the MTA. You can see that the CaSO4 has resolved in a few weeks. - MargaMarga, I would like to use CaSO4 as well, Marga. Is it expensive ? How do you use it - is it hard to place ? How do you order it (there are several types of Calcium Sulfate)? - Thomas What a control...how do you stabilize the gg while taking the wirefilm? a rubberstop? - vipin How do you control your length when placing MTA into such a large apex? I have never used MTA, so this may be a silly question - Craig Anderson
