Abstract:
The pulp and the periodontium are inherently interconnected, both anatomically and functionally. Conditions affecting the periodontium and the pulp can create challenges in diagnosis, treatment strategizing, and predicting outcomes. This case report outlines the combination of resection and regeneration techniques utilizing mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and bone grafting to address a persistent periapical lesion in a maxillary premolar. The treatment led to the effective alleviation of the patient's symptoms and successful regeneration.
