Teeth with open apices, such as in immature teeth or those with apical root resorption are clinical cases with difcult immediate resolution. With the use of bioceramic materials in dentistry, it was possible to optimize the treatment time of these cases by immediate placement of apical plug and the root canal lling. However, some negative effects can occur if material is extruded beyond the apex. To avoid this, it has been recommended to use of an apical plug prior to placement of bioceramic material. The aim of this article was to elaborate a case report of open apex with collagen plug using bioceramic material.
