Use of Cone Beam Computed Tomography for Identification of a Distant Causative Tooth: An Unusual Case of an Apical Lesion from a Maxillary Premolar Mimicking That from Maxillary Incisors

<div>Postoperative CBCT images. CBCT images of the maxillary right central and lateral incisors after a three-year period from the retreatment of only the first premolar; the hypodense regions had almost disappeared (a–c). Volume rendering image after three years showed that the buccal cortical bone had clearly recovered (d). Axial image of maxillary front to premolar area after three years shows the progress of osteoanagenesis in the palatal area (e).</div>
