Richa Gupta, Tanmay Mittal, Sonali Sharma, Nilav Bhagabati, Aniket Nookala

Perforation is an artificial communication between the root canal system and supporting tissues of the teeth which can be either pathologic or iatrogenic. Root perforation complicates the treatment and affect the prognosis of tooth. A wide variety of materials and techniques are available to seal the perforation, but nonsurgical approach should be tried first in feasible cases. Successful treatment mainly depends on effective and  timely and sealing of the defect. Orthograde perforation repair can be challenging for clinicians because bleeding/exudation often makes access to the perforation area difficult. The purpose of this case report is to describe the conservative, non-invasive and orthograde approach for management of large facial mid root perforation on a maxillary central incisor with the help of Biodentine. The signs and symptoms ceased and the result was satisfactory at the 18 months follow-up visit.
Key words: Perforation; CBCT; Orthograde repair; Biodentine.
