Persistent pain after successful endodontic treatment in a patient with Wegener’s granulomatosis: a case report by Ricardo Machado, Jorge Aleixo Pereira, Filipe Colombo Vitali, Michele Bolan, Elena Riet Correa Rivero

“…At 6- and 12-month follow-up visits, the patient complained of persistent pain associated with the endodontically treated teeth (mainly in tooth #31), despite complete remission of the periapical lesions shown by radiographic and CBCT exams proving the effectiveness of the endodontic treatments, thus indicating a probable diagnostic of persistent pain of non-odontogenic nature. After the surgical procedure was performed to curette the lesion and section 3 mm of the apical third of tooth #31, the histopathological analysis suggested that the painful condition was likely associated with the patient's systemic condition. …”
