Abstract
According to a classification of endodontic microsurgical cases, this case is an ideal candidate for microsurgery, the lesion size is relatively small and without periodontal involvement. However, surgical assessment of this case indicated presence of aesthetic challenges. The patient has medium line, thin gingival biotype, crestal position of labial frenal attachment, and the two upper centrals are covered with porcelain veneers. Another challenge was that the patient was anxious about the surgical treatment. The purpose of this case report is to show that endodontic microsurgical cases could have non-endodontic challenges that should be considered during all the case management steps, surgical assessment, information given to the patient, surgical techniques, and follow-up protocol.
