Popis: Apexification aims to induce apical closure of the open root apex with a hard-tissue barrier, against which a root filling can be compacted. Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) is a potential apical barrier material with good sealability and a high degree of biocompatibility. The main technical problem associated with placement is to prevent overfill and underfill. This paper demonstrates retreatment of an open apex tooth by placement of an apical barrier using MTA and PRF membrane as an internal matrix followed by application of anatomical post and core. This new technique is particularly advantageous in teeth which have open apex, root canals that are not round, wide canals and thin radicular dentin.
