C a s e 3 The patient was referred to the clinic to have the maxillary anterior teeth checked. The patient had had crowns placed several years before and appar- ently the pulps of those teeth had become necrotic and resulted in periapical infections. On the pre- operative radiographs (Figs. 3a–c) and on the i-Cat (Figs. 3d & e), the periapical cysts could be easily identified and massive bone loss was evident. The same approach as described previously was used to treat all of the anterior teeth to remove the multiple cysts while preserving the bone as far as possible and only using the bone defect that was created by the infection to scoop out the cystic reaction (Figs. 3f & g). Postoperative radiographs were taken (Fig. 3h), as well as radiographs at the 18-month follow-up (Fig. 3i). Further follow-up was not done, as the patient was unavailable. 24 Volume 3 | Issue 3/2017 Journal of Oral Science & Rehabilitation
