Management of Root Fenestration using Buccal Decortication & Guided Tissue Regeneration. A Case Report and 3D analysis

Management of patients with apical fenestration and clinical symptoms has always been limited to apical root resection and placement of the root tip within the bony crypt. This result would often present resolution of clinical symptoms based on a few case studies. In this case report, we are presenting a case where apical resection alone did not resolve the patient ’s discomfort, on the contrary, it resulted in further bone loss and persistence of clinical symptoms. A corrective surgery was performed with the utilization of guided bone regeneration (GBR) in conjunction with decortication of the cortical plate to induce bleeding.
