Abstract
A case report of a maxillary first molar is presented in which a drainage tube from a decompression procedure was removed 2 days following placement. The oral surgeon who removed the tube scheduled the patient for surgical enucleation of the large periapical lesion. The surgical appointment was subsequently cancelled and routine endodontic follow-up showed continued osseous repair at 3, 6, and 12 months. The decompression of a large periapical lesion is a conservative alternative to surgical enucleation.
