A patient was referred to the endodontic expert for evaluation of tooth #36. The patient had pain on biting and sought recommendations to save her tooth. The tooth had originally been endodontically treated almost 20 years earlier. Pre-operative assessment disclosed a peri-apical radio-lucency at the distal root apex. A diagnosis of Previous Endodontic Therapy with Symptomatic Periradicular Periodontitis was formulated. Optimal management of the case and use of modern technology is presented in this case report.
