Abstract
The aim of this paper is to present an interesting case of a periapical healing of mandibular posteriors having calcific-like deposits with radiolucent lesion. A 35-year-old healthy female patient was referred to our clinic by a general dentist. A diagnosis of calcific-like deposits with apical periodontitis lesion on the root surfaces with pulp necrosis was made. The root canal was prepared using the sequential hand files and rotary files. In the first session, calcium hydroxide was applied to the root canals to treat the radiolucent lesion. A one-week break was taken between the first and second session, and finally, the canals were filled with standard cold lateral gutta-percha condensation. No clinical signs were detected in the clinical examination of the controls, and the calcific-like deposits on the root surfaces and radiolucent lesion were healed in follow-up x-rays. The cases presented showed acceptable functional and/or successful recovery without recurrence at follow-up examination.
