Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The infected pulp, microorganisms toxins, metabolic products, chemical agents, mechanical irritations, foreign substances, trauma and host defense plays a role in the periapical tissue diseases. Options for the treatment of large periapical lesions range from non-surgical root canal treatment and/or apical surgery to extraction. Although apical surgery may be a treatment option in these cases, conventional root canal treatment should be the first choice. The aim of this case report is to report that the large size of a periapical lesion does not always need a surgical approach and even large periapical lesions heal following a conservative endodontic therapy.
