Abstract
Despite high success rate of endodontic treatment between 85 and 95%, failures can occur due to persistent infection. Lack of hermatic seal can lead to recontamination of the root canal system. The diameter of non vital open apex tooth complexes the adaptation of obturating materials to desired working length. The clinical case of reinfected non vital open apex was disinfected and obturated with inverted cone guttapercha technique. Signs of periapical tissue healing and bone formation were observed after periodic follow up.
