Abstract :
This case report presents conservative management of unset mineral trioxide
aggregate (MTA) after being placed as a root-end filling material following periapical
surgery. Periapical surgery was indicated for a maxillary lateral incisor of a 15-yearold
male due to persistent exudate and a large periapical lesion. During surgery
Angelus MTA was placed as root-end filling. The next session it was noticed that
MTA had failed to completely set. In an orthograde approach, calcium-enriched
mixture (CEM) cement was used to obturate the root canal space. The patient was
followed up for 27 months and did not exhibit any clinical signs and symptoms.
Radiographic images showed complete healing of the lesion.
