Popis: Aim: The aim of these case reports is to emphasize the successful healing of large periapical lesions using non surgical endodontic treatment with advanced techniques Background: Periapical lesions of endodontic origin are common pathological conditions affecting the periradicular tissues. The primary objective of root canal treatment is to cure or prevent periradicular periodontitis and to retain natural teeth in function and aesthetics Case description: Two case reports of large periapical lesions are described here which have shown favourable clinical and radiographic outcome following non surgical endodontic therapy Conclusion: Size of a periapical lesion does not necessarily mandate surgical intervention always and has shown the potential to heal following conservative endodontic therapy. Assessment of healing of a large periapical lesion necessitates a long term follow up and has to be done periodically. Clinical significance: The article highlights that present day endodontic treatment has become predictable and highly successful due to the advancements in diagnostic imaging techniques, rotary instruments, irrigants , intracanal medicaments and obturation systems which has in turn led to the fall in root end surgeries
