Abstract
The aim of this case report is to describe the management of a large periapical lesion in a patient without a trauma history, but with a deep traumatic overbite. The large periapical lesion in the region of the mandibular anterior teeth was detected in a routine radiographic examination. The patient was asymptomatic, and teeth 33, 32, 31, 41, and 42 failed to respond to thermal and electric testing. Nonsurgical endodontic treatment was performed on these teeth. Follow-up at 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years indicated that the radiolucency was reduced. Finally, follow-up at 3 years revealed that the large periapical lesion had disappeared.
