If you’re managing a case with a large periapical lesion, decompression can be a simple and predictable way to promote healing — often avoiding the need for apical surgery altogether.
In this video, I walk you through the decompression technique step-by-step, explaining when to use it, how to place the drain, and how to follow up for optimal healing.
You’ll learn:
When decompression is indicated
The materials and drains you can use (iodoform gauze, IV tubing, catheters)
How to secure and maintain the drain
Follow-up protocols and healing timelines
Clinical pearls from real-world cases
