A MULTI-DISCIPLINARY APPROACH TO THE TREATMENT OF DILACERATED LOWER INCISOR TEETH WITH PERIAPICAL LESION: 2 YEARS FOLLOW-UP.

Periapical lesions are frequently encountered in dentistry and are a condition which can cause loss of teeth. Diagnosis is made on the basis of the anamnesis, radiographic findings and by the examination of percussion and the vitality of related teeth. Histopathological findings generally conform with radiographic findings. The case is here presented where, following endodontic treatment of the right mandibular first incisor with dilaceration and periapical lesion, and the left mandibular first incisor with periapical lesion, root tip resection was applied. At the end of 6 months observation, as there was improvement in the lesion root tip surgery was applied. During a 2-year follow-up period, the lesion has diminished and recovery has been observed in the bone. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
