J Endod. 2005 Mar;31(3):212-4. doi: 10.1097/01.don.0000137639.85637.67.

Abstract

Root perforations are undesired complications of endodontic treatment. In the recent literature, MTA has been regarded as an ideal material for perforation repair. This article describes a case report where an iatrogenic supracrestal perforation was repaired successfully with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA).
