Aim: The partial pulpotomy can offer a successful outcome for the treatment of traumatic complicated crown fractures. The aim of this clinical report was to evaluate the effect of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) in apexogenesis of traumatized immature permanent incisors with pulp exposure. Case report: According to clinical and radiological examinations complicated crown fractures and open apices were identified in 13 permanent upper incisors in ten patients (age range 7-10 years). Partial pulpotomy procedures were performed and the teeth were treated with MTA. In this report, periodic clinical and radiological follow-ups were performed. At recall examinations, all teeth were asymptomatic, and clinical and radiological investigations revealed excellent healing patterns with continued apexogenesis. Conclusion: Regular examination of immature traumatized permanent teeth is critical for vitality and apexification. In this report, clinical and radiological findings confirm that partial pulpotomy with MTA is a reliable and effective treatment approach in apexogenesis of traumatized immature permanent incisors with pulp exposure.(C) 2013 The Japanese Society of Pediatric Dentistry.
