A radiographic examination showed a large carious lesion associated with condensing apical periodontitis [Figure 1a]. Six months, one-year, and 2-years follow-ups revealed no clinical or radiographic pathological findings (i.e. inflammation, infection, calcification, and resorption) on the first mandibular molar; radiographs showed normal periodontium apparatus, an evidence of complete periapical healing [Figure 1b-d].
