Abstract : X-ray photograph analysis and an electric pulp test are clinically effective methods for diagnosing the causal tooth of a fistula. However, the methods are not effective if the causal tooth has been treated with coronal restoration ; when there is unclear radiopacity, a definitive diagnosis is more difficult. In this case with lateral canal-derived periapical lesion, it was difficult to diagnose the causal tooth.
