use of the new MTA case report | 33 roots 4 2016 apex(Angelus).Afterthethermomechanicalcompac- tion, the gutta-percha was cut and vertical conden- sation was performed using a cold plugger. The area of the perforation was then cleaned and refilled with calcium hydroxide. After 15 days, we began to seal the prepared area and initially verified that the area had dried properly. The prepared area was filled with MTA Repair HP ac­ cording to the manufacturer’s instructions, applied with the MTA Applicator (both Angelus). Clinical and radiographic criteria were used to determine correct filling with the material (Figs. 4 & 5), and a glass ionomer cement (3M) was applied to seal and pro- tect the area (Fig. 6). After temporary restoration, we observed the tooth radiographically and found proper sealing of the furcation area with MTA Repair HP. No post­ operative complications were reported. At the two-month follow-up visit, bone forma- tion in the fur­ cation area was detected. No further symptoms were reported (Fig. 7)._ Fig.6:The cavity was sealed with a glass ionomer cement.
