Core Tip	Trauma to the pulp before root formation induces pulpal necrosis, which impairs dentin and root growth. The thin, fragile dentin walls that lead to the canal's exposed apex remain broad. This means that root canal treatment in these cases is becoming increasingly complex. In these situations, mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) apexification has replaced CaOH2 apexification because of its superior properties. It is a reliable method for creating a rigid apical tissue barrier. To solve this endodontic enigma, this review discusses the nonsurgical treatment of an open apex with MTA, the micro apical placement system, magnification, and bioceramics.
