Özet

The surgical treatment of a case presenting pain and swelling due to the extrusion of the root canal filling into a large periapical lesion between left maxillary lateral and canine teeth is presented in this report. The swelling was painful on palpation. Removal of the lesion and the material was made surgically. Complete healing was observed at the postoperative first year radiographically. Surgical intervention of large periapical lesions is indicated in cases in which the extrusion of large amount of root canal filling material occurred inadvertently to provide healing of the periradicular tissues.
