Abstract

Teeth affected with necrosis, apical periodontitis, large periapical lesion, external resorption, open apex require definitive endodontic therapy in addition to excellent biocompatible tricalcium silicate cement for root repair and regeneration of the periodontium. Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) has shown superior prognostic results in the mentioned procedures due to its sealing ability and antibacterial properties. However, certain major drawbacks with MTA are its long setting time, further discoloration of the tooth structure, and difficulty in handling. EndoSequence root repair material (Brasseler, USA) is a recently introduced bioceramic. Several clinical and research studies have shown comparable sealing ability of MTA and EndoSequence in apexification and surgical procedures. Presented here is the successful management of a patient whose maxillary anteriors showed destruction of the periapical tissue. Surgical procedure was performed in right central and lateral incisors along with root-end filling with EndoSequence and apexification in left central incisor with placement of an apical plug of EndoSequence. Follow-up radiographs and 12-month cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) showed formation of bony trabeculae surrounding the apical region and intact lamina dura. Based on the clinical report, it appears that EndoSequence is the new root repair material that is user-friendly for the clinician even in the most challenging situations.
