However, no Caries and pockets could be detected. Tooth was nonresponsive to vitality test. Patient symptoms did not relieve even two months after completion of RCT. Apical surgery was planned. Apicectomy was done and osseous defect was filled with PRF coagulum. Patient was followed up every three months and showed complete resolution of all symptoms. Radiographs showed complete resolution of osseous defect in nine months.
