ABSTRACT
Aim: The aim is to report a case of large periapical lesion in maxillary lateral incisor treated using diode laser disinfection
Summary: One of the major reason for failure of root canal treatment are microorganisms associated with Apical periodontitis ,despite of all the primary measures and disinfection protocol, failure of endodontic treatment occurs either due to reinfection, substantial regrowth or resistant microorganisms. Laser root canal disinfection is one of the effective method since it was deeper penetration and ability to destroy wide range of microorganisms. This article reports a case of tooth with periapical lesion and weeping canals despite of intracanal medicament placement, which eventually subsided by diode laser canal disinfection.
Keywords: Persistent intracanal drainage, Laser, Root canal treatment, Endodontic management.
