This article presents non-surgical resolution of an extensive periapical lesion of endodontic origin associated with the maxillary left lateral incisor. Clinical examination revealed an asymptomatic bony hard swelling confined to the palate, while radiographic analysis showed a lesion measuring 22 mm in diameter and nearly 389 mm(2) in area. Through apical patency, 4 ml of intracanal exudate wa...

Periapical lesions are the most common pathological conditions involving teeth which often require surgical intervention. To achieve optimal healing both clinically and radiographically, bone grafts and barrier membranes have been used to fill the periapical defect after degranulation of the lesion. Colostrum is one of the new materials, which has osteoinductive or regenerative potential. The p...

Although periapical inflammatory lesions are usually resulted by infection in the root canal system, this rare case showed that a periapical lesion related to an infected tooth may cause pulpal necrosis in adjacent intact tooth, with no history or clinical signs of caries, disease, trauma or developmental anomaly. This case also suggests that the periapical lesion can be treated conservatively,...

Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a recent three-dimensional (3D) radiographic imaging modality used for the accurate diagnosis, management and follow-up of endodontic problems. In tooth with open apex and periapical lesion, the use of new obturation material such as white mineral trioxide aggregate (wMTA) facilitates faster and more predictable closure of root apex and periapical healing...

IntroductionThe aim of this study is to report the management of large periapical lesion using triple antibiotic paste as an alternative intra-canal medicament in nonsurgical endodontic treatment. Case reportan 11 year old male patient with large periapical lesion in mandibular anterior region, treated using conservative non-surgical endodontic treatment. Calcium hydroxide-iodoform paste (Vitap...

The etiologies and mechanisms of implant failure are multifactorial. Implant periapical lesion (IPL) is one possible cause of implant failure. IPL is an infectious-inflammatory alterations surrounding an implant apex. The diagnosis is based on the clinical manifestations and radiological findings, where a radiolucent lesion can be seen in the periapical area. It is apparent that IPL has a multi...
