Root canal treatment of both left maxillary central and lateral incisors were initiated. Calcium hydroxide dressing was placed monthly for a period of 3 months. After 3months, obturation was carried out on both teeth. Clinical and radiographic re-evaluations at 6 and 9months revealed progressing bone healing.
