Utilizzo di Mineral Trioxide Aggregate nella riparazione di perforazioni della forcazione: due casi clinici

Aims: Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA), a Portland Cement-like materi- al, developed in 1993 by M. Torabine- jad, has been suggested in the treat- ment of furcal perforation. The aim of this study is to describe two case reports of teeth with furcal perforation treated with mineral trioxide aggre- gate. Clinical cases: two molars with a furcal perforation, due to decay and iatro- genic mistake, respectively, were treated with Mineral Trioxide Aggregate during the conventional retreatment. Clinical and radiological controls show the healing of periodontal tissues. Conclusions: the MTA seems to be the best material in the treatment of furcal perforation. Its excellent action may be connected with highly reduced quantity of liquid and bacterial leak- age, and this clinical condition seems to allow the healing of periodontal tissues.
