The endodontic treatment of necrotic anterior teeth after trauma remains complicated because of divergent root walls, thin dentinal walls and frequent lesions. The surgical endodontic treatment of teeth are well documented which are characterized by necrosis and infection in the presence of older fibrous and extensive lesion. The purpose of this paper is to report a two year follow up of a twelve years old patient whose tooth was treated for periapical lesion of endodontic origin by surgical endodontic procedure.
