Abstract
ABSTRACT
Endo-perio lesions have been a dilemma to the dental practitioner. Both tissues
share the same anatomical origin. Sometimes exact etiological passage of disease
process cannot be traced; nevertheless traditional and newer treatment modalities
must be employed to ensure best treatment possibilities. Patient reported with
pain and pus exudates in upper left anterior region. Past dental history revealed no
history of trauma. Initial examination revealed draining sinus with respect to 22.
However, no Caries and pockets could be detected. Tooth was nonresponsive to
vitality test. Patient symptoms did not relieve even two months after completion
of RCT. Apical surgery was planned. Apicectomy was done and osseous defect was
filled with PRF coagulum. Patient was followed up every three months and showed
complete resolution of all symptoms. Radiographs showed complete resolution of
osseous defect in nine months. PRF can be used to enhance bone augmentation
in treatment of periapical defects as a potential treatment alternative for faster
healing.
