A well-defined periapical radiolucent lesion was evident around the root apex (see Figure 2(a)). Upon radiographic evaluation, the sinus tract was traced with a #30/0.02 gutta percha point and its extension to the apex of tooth #9 was confirmed (see Figure 2(b)). The PRF, Dentin-bonding agent (Single Bond, 3M, ESPE, USA), and coronal barrier (Retro-MTA (bioMTA, Seoul, South Korea)) was placed as pervious try, access cavity sealed with reinforced zinc-oxide eugenol (Zoliran, Golchadent, Iran). (Figure 2(c)) After 1 week, the MTA was set and the crown was restored by composite resin (FGM, Joinville, Brazil). The follow-up radiographs and photographs are shown in Figures 1 and 2.
