Better anatomical knowledge of the structures as well as the development of techniques and materials involved has resulted in substantial paraendodontic surgery increase and success. In some cases, teeth endodontic treatment highly benefits treatment accomplishment. This report describes a case of an endodontic treatment complemented by paraendodontic surgery in periapical region of 21, 22 and 23 of a female patient who had been treated at the clinic of the Brazilian Dental Association Dentistry - in the city of Cascavel, State of Parana, Brazil. The case presents a 12-month follow-up for the resolution of painful symptoms, lesion reduction, and bone formation. Literature review was performed regarding paraendodontic surgery in order to assess the determining factors, failure causes and procedure indications/ contraindications, as well.
