Multidisciplinary treatment approach of a large periapical cyst with an iatrogenic root perforation: Three year follow-up

Abstract

The undesired complications of endodontic treatment are iatrogenic root perforations. Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) is widely used to seal perforations because of its biocompatibility and sealability property. Radicular cysts are the most commonly occurring cystic lesions in the oral cavity. In this present case report, a multidisciplinary approach involving the expertise of endodontist and oral surgeon successfully manages the surgical treatment of a large-infected cyst combined with a root perforation associated with maxillary central and lateral incisors.
