Abstract

Root canal infection is the primary cause of large periapical lesions. The primary protocol for treatment should be the elimination of etiological factors in the root canal system. An 18-year-old, female patient reported to our dental college and hospital with the chief complaint of swelling behind her upper front teeth on the roof of her mouth. Clinical and radiological findings revealed a large swelling and a large circumscribed radiolucency involving the apex of the tooth with open apex respectively. Non-surgical endodontic therapy was performed followed by apexification and periapical surgery was performed. Monitoring the healing of the affected region subsequently was done for upto 1 year. The ultimate goal was to return the involved tooth to a state of health and function, which was achieved.
