Lesion Shape Suggestive of Root Canal Anatomy

LESION SHAPE SUGGESTIVE OF ROOT CANAL ANATOMY: This is a pretty good demonstration of periapical lesion associated with the canine tooth (#6). Pre-operative radiographic survey reveals that the lesion is off to the side at the apical third. Post-operative radiograph highlights a couple accessory canals providing a route of infection and inflammatory response in the area of the lesion. Good demonstration of anatomy here.
