Chronic apical periodontitis is a condition in which the apical portion of a tooth's root is chronically inflamed. The term chronic means the problem must have been present for a long period of time
Treatment options are root canal treatment either in a single visit or in two visits.
If the infection persist we can go in for apicoectomy

Root canal treatment and apicoectomy in some cases if lesion is big in size and cannot be resolved via non surgical method such as root canal treatment. Following root canal treatment usually finished in 2 visits in such cases, crown is placed after 4 to 5 days post completion of the second visit.
Antiniotics may or may not be given depending upon your symptoms and assessment by the treating doctor
