(a) Maxillary occlusal radiograph showing the buccolingual extension of the lesion. (b) Root diversion of the lateral incisor (double white arrow) was observed. (c) The lesion overlapped the lateral incisor and canine. (d) Obturation using lateral compaction technique. (e) After 16 months. (f) The lateral incisor regained its normal horizontal alignment and the canine continued root formation. (g) After 26 months. (h) Periapical radiograph showing well-defined radiolucent area related to the maxillary right incisors. (i) Obturation by lateral compaction technique. (j) After 6 months. (k) After 40 months.

The clinical and radiographic examinations revealed a well-defined periapical radiolucent area in relation to his maxillary right incisors, in which the maxillary central incisor was coronally fractured and discolored, and the lateral incisor was diagnosed non-vital after performing pulp vitality test [Figure 1h]. Like the previous case and with the aid of assisted magnification and accessory illumination, the cystic fluid was drained and both incisors were endodontically treated [Figure 1i], followed by root-end resection and cold burnishing. Follow-up radiographs till 40 months showed optimal bone healing along with regaining the lamina dura, regardless of the inadequate coronal filling depth in the maxillary lateral incisor [Figure 1j and k].
