Periapical Lesion: A Single-Sitting Root Canal Treatment

Abstract

The aim of root canal treatment is to disinfect the root canal completely and prevent the progression of any periapical infection. Surgical treatment of periapical lesions is associated with many complications and challenges. This article describes the management of a periapical lesion of the right lower premolar in a single-visit root canal procedure using Metapex. The patient was observed for one week for any incidences of flare-ups.
