Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 15
Abstract
PRESENTATION OF CASE A 25-year-old male reported to the Department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics with a chief complaint of pain and swelling in the lower right canine region since three days. Patient reported history of trauma due to self-fall one year back. The tooth was associated with pain and tenderness when chewing food and increased on thermal changes. Intraoral examination revealed an obliteration of vestibule on the right mandibular canine region and tenderness on percussion. Pulp vitality with electric and thermal test elicited no response. Intraoral periapical radiograph revealed diffuse periapical radiolucency and in the pulp chamber space a radiopacity was evident, indicating calcification.
