Endodontic treatment with laser therapy of large cystic lesion on the mandible – case report
Journal Title: RSBO - Year 2009, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
Introduction and objective: This study aimed to show the possibility of non-surgical treatment of large cysts. Case report: Endodontic treatment of periradicular lesion with approximately 4.5 cm in maximum diameter regarding the roots of teeth 36 and 37 was performed.Root canal treatment of teeth before the lesion surgical procedure was indicated. After twenty days from the endodontic treatment beginning, an improvement in the clinical condition was observed,with reduction of edema and cystic regression.Thus, the option was for sessions of canal manipulation, placement of calcium hydroxide paste and laser therapy.After six months from the treatment beginning, clinical regression of the lesion was observed; endodontic obturation of the teeth was performed, and clinical radiographic control was carried out for 1 and 2 years. Disappearance of cyst was observed and consequent bone repair.Conclusion: By using technological advances, such as microscopes and laser therapy, nowadays it becomes possible to perform successful non-surgical treatment in cases of periradicular lesion, to which surgery used to be the regular recommendation.
