Popis: Endodontic microsurgery (EMS) presents a great treatment option for unresolved periradicular pathologies, typically involving the removal of the apical root portion and adjacent inflamed tissues. This case report describes the management of persistent periapical lesions in the lower anterior teeth of a 32-year-old male. Root canal treatment was completed 4 years before presentation. The patient presented to the clinic with tooth mobility and mild discomfort and large radiographical periapical radiolucency. The case was diagnosed with previously treated with asymptomatic apical periodontitis. EMS was performed in conjunction with periodontal-guided tissue regeneration that includes bone graft and resorbable membrane and the teeth showed favorable resolution of the symptoms. Histopathological analysis showed the presence of a radicular cyst. After 3 years of follow-up, cone-beam computed tomography and periapical radiographs demonstrated substantial lesion regression and favorable outcome. This case report offering promising insights into the synergistic potential of combined endodontic and regenerative periodontal therapy in cases with unresolved periapical lesion with extensive bone destruction.
