Abstract

This case report describes the non - surgical management of a large periapical lesion using Metapex as a intracanal dressing and root canal therapy. Periapical lesions usually develop in non-vital teeth as a result of chronic aggression by the pathogenic microorganisms into the root canal which may appear as radiolucent in periapical radiographs. Treatment of such lesions usually varies from non-surgical and surgical means depending on the individual. In the era of minimally invasive, dentistry, non-surgical endodontic approach has been highly recommended in the periapical healing. This case report shows the healing of large periapical lesion using metapex as intracanal medicament at various time intervals followed by root canal therapy.
