Apexification of blunder buss apex using novel internal matrix technique: A case report

Abstract

Permanent teeth with incomplete root development results in teeth with short root, roots with very thin walls, and an inadequate crown-root ratio, which overshadows their survival prognosis. Further due to internal bleeding from the pulp the teeth may become gray or black-brown, posses a great esthetic challenge. This case presents both endodontic and aesthetic management of incompletely developed root at Cvek stage 1 with perio glass as apical matrix restored with MTA and aesthetic rehabilitation with zirconia premium crown. Key words : Blunderbuss apex, Bio-active glass, MTA
