Prognosis of a mandibular incisor with apical and periodontal lesion: an 18-month follow-up.
Oral habits that are performed daily, can be a factor in the progression of periodontal and/or endodontic diseases. The purpose of this clinical report was to describe the treatment of a wide periodontal lesion and 18-month follow-up of a 13-year-old male patient's permanent mandibular central incisor that was traumatized due to chronic pencil biting. The lesion was curreted surgically while the compromised mandibular central incisor was endodontically and periodontally treated. The interdisciplinary approach showed a successful clinical outcome, as the survival of the infected tooth and the recovery of the soft tissues and the alveolar bone could have been achieved.
