| CE article diagnosis 14 roots1 2016 A maxillary left lateral incisor exhibits an apical radiolucency (Fig. 7). There is no history of pain and the tooth is asymptomatic. There is no response to Endo-Ice® or to the EPT, whereas the adjacent teeth respond normally to both tests. There is no tender ness to percussion or palpation. Diagnosis: pulp ne crosis; asymptomatic apical periodontitis. Treatment is nonsurgical endodontic treatment and placement of a permanent restoration._ Editorial note: This article originally appeared in END- ODONTICS: Colleagues for Excellence, Fall 2013.
