Abstract
The current study presents a case of iatrogenic mid-root perforation with a
maxillary central incisor in a 59 -year-old female patient, with a history of trauma in
that region. Perforations that occur in the mid-root region pose a challenge to the
dentist due to inadequate access to the perforation site. Perforations also increase the
chance of inflammatory reaction in the periodontal ligament. A concept for the repair
of root perforations is presented using a resorbable collagen matrix which reconstructs
the outer shape of the root and facilitates the adaptation of MTA. The current clinical
case shows successful root perforation repair with follow up using aforementioned
technique.
