ABSTRACT
Trauma or caries during root development causes pulp necrosis result in immature root formation. The absence of a natural constriction at the end of the root canal makes control of filling materials difficult. Apexification or induction of apical closure is choice for such condition. Most commonly used materials are calcium hydroxide or MTA. MTA has several advantages such as good sealing property, biocompatibility and periradicular tissue regeneration. This case report present management of maxillary anterior teeth with immature open apex using mineral trioxide aggregate apical plug.
