Apical barrier in an immature tooth with an open apex

Doctor, what protocol should we follow in teeth with an open apex to avoid pushing the gutta-percha beyond the apex?

Translated version of the Turkish original

By not placing gutta-percha 😀. We prefer an apical plug with MTA to prevent this situation.
