  • Title: Maturogenesis of a cariously exposed immature permanent tooth using MTA for direct pulp capping: a case report.
    Author: Patel R, Cohenca N.
    Journal: Dent Traumatol; 2006 Dec; 22(6):328-33. PubMed ID: 17073926.
    Abstract:
    Successful direct pulp capping of cariously exposed permanent teeth with reversible pulpitis and incomplete apex formation can prevent the need for root canal treatment. A case report is presented which demonstrates the use of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) as a direct pulp capping material for the purpose of continued maturogenesis of the root. Clinical and radiographic follow-up demonstrated a vital pulp and physiologic root development in comparison with the contralateral tooth. MTA can be considered as an effective material for vital pulp therapy, with the goal of maturogenesis.
