Perforation repair was considered to be an unpredictable treatment in the past. Recently, new techniques and materials like Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) are being successfully used to repair perforations. The introduction of the dental operating microscope into clinical practice has enabled more precise and predictable treatment of teeth and dental pulp. Advanced approaches, such as the use of a dental microscope, have improved the outcome of perforation repair procedures. This article presents the significance of microscopic perforation repair therapy, and discusses the latest literature on use of MTA and the dental microscope.
If the conditions are appropriate, the success rate of perforation repair when using a dental microscope and MTA is predicted to be 70% to 90%. The dental microscope has proven to be useful for detection, confirmation, diagnosis, and especially repair of perforations.
