What they're measuring
1
Assessment of radiographic healing with cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans using Estrela's PAI (periapical index)
Timeframe: Comparison of periapical lesion size at baseline and 12 months
2
Assessment of clinical outcome by assessing the resolution/persistence/development of clinical signs and symptoms
