Lateral Window Trap-door Approach for Enucleation of a Colossal Periapical Cyst, Retrograde Biodentine Placement and Management of Osseous Cavity using Bone Graft and GTR — A Case Report

Abstract

Periapical cysts are one of the most common dental cysts that affect the human jaw. The tooth/teeth allied with periapical cysts are typically non-vital. They seldom present any clinical signs and symptoms until diagnosed during customary dental investigations. The present case report focuses on a tooth that presented with periapical cyst, its enucleation, apicoectomy and root end filling using biodentine and the management of the consequential osseous defect using bone graft and guided tissue regeneration (GTR) membrane.
