Abstract

Aim: This case report aims to describe nonsurgical endodontic treatment in a second mandibular premolar (tooth #45) with type II dens evaginatus using a new bioceramic material (OrthoMTA). Background: A 13-year-old boy reported recurrent swelling related to mandibular premolars (#44 and #45) with discharging sinus in the periapical area. Case description: Orthograde obturation with OrthoMTA was done after thorough disinfection using activated sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) medicament. Conclusion: A 1-year post-obturation follow-up, using clinical and radiographic examination [cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT)] showed good apical sealing. Clinical significance: The synergistic effect of the chemomechanical preparation and intracanal medicament, followed by the filling of OrthoMTA helped, in the successful management of this case.
