case_images: (a) Tooth #21 exhibited blunderbuss root apex with very thin radicular dentinal walls and diffuse periapical radiolucency. (b) It was stabilised using rigid splinting and PRF aided revascularization was carried out. (c), (d). 12 month and 18 month follow up radiographs revealed excellent periapical healing, apical closure, root lengthening and dentinal wall thickening.

case_images: Radiographic examination revealed blunderbuss root apex with very thin radicular dentinal walls and diffuse periapical radiolucency [Figure 1a]. Ionomer Cement (Photac-Fill, 3MESPE, Minnesota). Intraoral radiographs were taken at baseline, 12 and 18 month post procedure [Figure 1b-d]. Interestingly, periapical healing, apical closure, root lengthening and dentinal wall thickening was optimal radiographically [Figure 1d].
