CBCT was asked to recognize size of lesion .
AAE …
CBCT should be only used when answer of question for which imaging is required cannot assumed adequately by lower dose conventional radiograph.

After 6 months, adjacent canine showed a negative response to cold sensibility test then cavity test was done and found non-vital so root canal treatment was done for it as will.

Conclusions
Teeth with large periapical lesion due to failed endodontic therapies or necrotic pulp can be good candidates for non-surgical root canal treatment …
thorough cleaning and shaping of canal along with disinfection using irrigation protocol and appropriate obturation technique are the key factors in initiating the healing process.
