Aim:
To report the non-surgical management of a large periapical lesion.
Summary:
Surgical treatment of large periapical lesions is often subject to various complications. Hence, a non-surgical approach should be considered for the management of these lesions. The traditional aspiration technique involves creation of buccal and palatal wounds that can cause considerable discomfort for the patient. This case report describes a simple aspiration technique achieved through the root canal space, which might hasten osseous regeneration, whilst eliminating the need for periapical surgery.
Key Learning Points:
Non-surgical techniques can aid in healing of periapical lesions. Non-surgical approaches should be considered before resorting to surgery.
