CONCLUSION
Pre-op x-ray
Post-op x-ray
MTA is indeed a phenomenal dental material that is very biocompatible with pulp tissue and periapical tissue. MTA induces
minimal inflammation and encourages healing in pulpal and
periapical sites where it is used and when that site is void of
bacterial contamination.
