Dr. Krishnaprasad L., Dr. Naveen Kumar K, *Dr. Adarsh M. R
ABSTRACT
Periapical granulomas are common sequelae of chronic pulpal and periapical infections. Conventional nonsurgical root canal therapy is the treatment of choice; however, surgical intervention may be required when lesions persist. This case report describes the successful surgical management of a large periapical granuloma in relation to maxillary anterior teeth (21, 22, 23) through apicoectomy, retrograde filling with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), and regenerative management using bone graft and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF). Postoperative follow-up demonstrated favourable healing both clinically and radiographically.
Keywords: Apicoectomy, Periapical granuloma, MTA, Bone graft, Platelet-rich fibrin, Endodontic surgery.
