Abstract :
This case report presents the successful management of a 19-year-old male with a non-vital maxillary central incisor and open apex. Apexification was done using mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) to form an apical barrier, followed by restoration with a glass fiber post and ceramic crown. MTA was chosen for its biocompatibility and sealing ability, addressing the challenge of obturating an open apex. The glass fiber post reinforced the weakened root, while the ceramic crown restored function and esthetics. This case highlights the effectiveness of combining endodontic and restorative techniques for predictable outcomes in complex cases.
