HEALING of LARGE PERIAPICAL LESION FOLLOWING CONVENTIONAL ROOT CANAL TREATMENT- A CASE REPORT

Abstract

The infected pulp, metabolic products, microorganism toxins, mechanical irritations, chemical agents, trauma, foreign substances, and host defense play a role in periapical tissue diseases. Options for the treatment of large periapical lesions vary from apical surgery and/or non-surgical root canal treatment to extraction. Although apical surgery may be a treatment option in these cases, conventional root canal treatment must be considered as the first alternative. In the present case report, we aimed to report that a surgical approach is not always required in case of a large size of a periapical lesion and healing occurs even in large periapical lesions after conservative endodontic therapy.
