Abstract
The aim of this report is to describe the treatment of two mandibular incisors of the same patient with apical periodontitis following dental trauma. Tooth 31 was treated by single-visit endodontic therapy while tooth 41 was treated by multiple-visit endodontic therapy. A 16-month postoperative radiograph was taken and showed repair.
Conclusion
There was no significant clinical and radiographic difference between the endodontic treatment with single and multiple visits.
