Abstract :

Periapical lesions are termed endodontic lesions when pulpal necrosis is the prequel leading to periapical inflammation or destruction. However non-odontogenic periapical lesions mimicking endodontic lesions have also been extensively documented in the literature. Hence establishing a proper diagnosis and choosing an appropriate treatment modality is critical. The management of a 24 year old male patient with an asymptomatic swelling in the right mandibular region is presented. The lesion was excised surgically and the involved teeth were treated endodontically.
