Treatment of strip perforation using cold ceramic

Abstract

Root perforation may occur at any stage of endodontic treatment and is mostly due to iatrogenic
injury and may compromise the outcome of endodontic treatment. Repairing a perforation is
difficult and the prognosis depends on various factors such as time, site and size of perforation, and
the patient’s overall health status. Hence, choosing the most appropriate material can be critical
for the dentist. In this case report of a strip‑perforation repair, an mineral trioxide aggregate‑like
material (cold ceramic) that has been shown in previous studies to have favorable properties, was
successfully used.
