Questions and Answers

What is the primary goal of apexification?

  • To remove infected pulp tissue
  • To induce root end closure by formation of a biological calcific barrier (correct)
  • To promote root development
  • To stimulate pulp capping

    • What is a disadvantage of using calcium hydroxide in apexification?

  • It stimulates internal resorption
  • It is ineffective against bacteria
  • It is expensive and difficult to use
  • It decreases fracture resistance of thin dentinal walls (correct)

    • What is the primary advantage of using MTA in regenerative endodontics?

  • It promotes healing and repair
  • It creates an artificial apical barrier (correct)
  • It is more effective against bacteria
  • It is less expensive than calcium hydroxide

    • What is the purpose of applying a temporary filling after CaOH paste delivery?
