A case with evidence of radiographic healing of a periapical lesion 12 years after root canal treatment is presented. The use and limitations of previously produced guidelines on radiographic follow-up intervals are discussed. Questions are raised about what is known of the healing process and when further treatment should be instituted. The reliance on single radiographs alone when making treatment decisions is discouraged.
本文介绍了一例根管治疗12年后根尖周病变出现影像学愈合证据的病例。讨论了先前制定的影像学随访间隔指南的应用及局限性。针对愈合过程的已知情况以及何时应开始进一步治疗提出了问题。不提倡在做出治疗决策时仅依赖单次X光片。
