  ABSTRACT: Root canal treatment failure depends on many factors. Overfillings, insufficient fillings, missing canals, failure to provide a complete apical plug, and impermeability of coronal restoration are some of them. Failed root canal treatment may not always manifest itself immediately after treatment. Sometimes, root canal treatments, which have not been done well, can manifest themselves with extensive lesions and severe pain in the apical after a long time. Apical resection may be considered as a solution in lesions that are too large to be treated, but retreatment without surgery should be attempted beforehand. Thus, the patient may have recovered from unnecessary surgical procedures and treated with a more conservative method. This case presents the non-surgical retreatment of a left lateral tooth with a large periapical lesion with extruded gutta percha followed by a 36-month follow-up.
