Open apex is a common occurrence and conservative approach should be applied because the affected teeth are immature in nature. This article describes the management of open apices with periapical radiolucencies in maxillary incisors. Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) was used to form an apical barrier and rest of the canal was obturated with different technique. The case series intends to testify the efficacy of MTA as an agent for Apexification and its effect on periapical healing.
