Surgical Management of Periapical Lesion in Maxillary Incisors with Combined Bone Graft and Platelet – Rich Fibrin: A Case Report

Abstract

Chronic periapical lesions usually occur as an inflammatory response due to bacterial infection within the root canals. Periapical surgeries are considered as an important alternative when non-surgical conservative endodontic treatment fails in resolution of the lesion. Commercially various bone substitutes and regenerative methods are available after degranulation of tissue in order to attain favourable healing promoting bone regeneration. This case report represents healing of periapical lesion in maxillary incisors after periapical surgery, in conjugation with bone graft and platelet-rich fibrin after 12 months follow up
