Abstrakt: Trauma to non-vital immature permanent teeth with exposed apex is common and involves approximately 30% of the pediatric population. Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) is the best choice for apexification for apical barrier formation and healing in immature teeth. To report the success of apical closure using MTA on a non-vital permanent incisor with an apical open due to trauma. An 18-year-old female patient with complained of broken and discolored upper right front teeth. Trauma incident since 6 years ago due to falling from a bicycle. On clinical examination, non vital central incisors maxillary teeth Class IV Ellis fracture with an open apex and discoloration due to trauma. Periapical radiographs showed apical remain open with a large root canal and periapical radiolucency. Central incisors maxillary teeth had pulp necrosis with exposed apex were treated with apexification using MTA, then restoration with Fiber posts and all porcelain crowns. The treatment results showed that apexification with MTA could shortened the visit time by forming an apical barrier that stimulate healing and could be directly followed by the final restoration.
