title: Treatment of labial fenestration of maxillary central incisor.
abstract: A case of external inflammatory root resorption and labial fenestration in a maxillary central incisor is presented. The root canal was dressed with pure calcium hydroxide mixed with normal saline for 1 month before it was obturated with gutta percha and apicoectomy surgery undertaken to attempt primary closure of the fenestration. The PDL and the fenestration healed uneventfully.
