Abstract : This paper reports a good outcome obtained during 14 years of long-term follow-up after a nonsurgical endodontic procedure was carried out for a periapical lesion of a tooth. The patient underwent eco-mechanical root canal therapy as follows :

  ・Mechanically remove infecting factors from inside the root canal.

  ・Minimize the use of drugs while stimulating the body’s healing power to maximize homeostasis.

  ・Ensure a tight obturation at the root canal with no dead space remaining.

 This report indicates that eco-mechanical root canal therapy may bring a good outcome from the treatment of periapical lesions of teeth.
