MTA repair of open apex

This patient had a history of RCT followed by surgery. While Re-treating, in the lateral incisor, i could get a cone-fit with a #45 master cone. The central however, had an open apex and was inflamed. I placed calcium hydroxide for 2 weeks and packed the central with MTA apically.
