Peri-radicular healing



As a dental healthcare provider, I get self-satisfaction not only when my patients are happy with me, but when I see good results from my own work, especially when it comes to challenging root canal treatment. The radiograph showed periapical healing after one year, a favorable outcome of the root canal treatment for tooth 36 with chronic apical abscess. The evidence of bone filling the peri-radicular lesion never failed to put a smile on my face :)





The second case shows tooth 35 after apexification with MTA and periapical healing after nine months.
