Summary
Regenerative therapy combined with periapical surgery can improve outcomes for large periapical defects. This case report shows a bioactive bone graft enhanced healing in a traumatized anterior tooth with an infected radicular cyst.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Endodontics
- Regenerative Medicine
Background:
- Large periapical defects can compromise endodontic surgery success.
- Regenerative therapy offers potential for enhanced prognosis in such cases.
Observation:
- A patient presented with traumatized anterior teeth, an infected radicular cyst, and a sinus tract.
- Periapical surgery was performed to excise pathological tissue.
Findings:
- A bioactive bone graft was used to augment the surgical site.
- Six-month interim results indicated a positive outcome following graft application.
Implications:
- Regenerative therapy may serve as a valuable adjunct to periapical surgery.
- Bioactive bone grafts show promise in managing large periapical defects and improving tooth prognosis.
