(Fig 23C)
6-months follow-up – Some healing of the apical
lesion observed. However, since the apex of
#
tooth 31 is located at the epicenter of the
lesion, regular monitoring of its pulpal status is
required and sometimes a cavity test may
become necessary.
(Fig 23D)
1-year follow-up – More healing of the apical
lesion. Adjacent teeth responded normally
during vitality tests. The patient was advised to
proceed with permanent restoration on tooth
# 32.
(Fig 23E)
3-years follow-up – Near complete healing with
#
reappearance of 32 lamina dura. Normal vitality
of the adjacent teeth. Extruded sealer did not
affect apical healing.
