Tissue reactions to a component of root canal system bacteria: lipoteichoic acid.
Lipoteichoic acid (LTA), present in Gram-positive microorganisms, has physiochemical characteristics that allow it to act as an immunogen. Due to polymicrobial characteristics of root canal infections, LTA can participate in the development of periapical disease. The reaction of the rat subcutaneous tissue to Teflon tube implants, filled with Fibrinol soaked in lipoteichoic acid (concentration ...
متن کاملTissue Damage after Inadvertent Citric Acid Extrusion during Root Canal Treatment: Report of a Case
A female patient was seen for an emergency visit after accidental citric acid (40%) injection into soft tissues during root canal irrigation. The patient was experiencing pain, swelling in the right mandible, paraesthesia of the right lower lip and regional necrosis of the buccal mucosa. She was reassured and given analgesics and antibiotics. Follow-up visits were scheduled to monitor the case....
متن کاملA new system for classifying root and root canal morphology.
Knowledge of root and root canal morphology is a prerequisite for effective nonsurgical and surgical endodontic treatments. The external and internal morphological features of roots are variable and complex, and several classifications have been proposed to define the various types of canal configurations that occur commonly. More recently, improvements in nondestructive digital image systems, ...
متن کاملSubcutaneous connective tissue response to primary root canal filling materials.
This study evaluated the response of the subcutaneous connective tissue of BALB/c mice to root filling materials indicated for primary teeth: zinc oxide/eugenol cement (ZOE), Calen paste thickened with zinc oxide (Calen/ZO) and Sealapex sealer. The mice (n=102) received polyethylene tube implants with the materials, thereby forming 11 groups, as follows: I, II, III: Calen/ZO for 7, 21 and 63 da...
متن کاملLipoteichoic acid synthesis and function in gram-positive bacteria.
Lipoteichoic acid (LTA) is an important cell wall polymer found in gram-positive bacteria. Although the exact role of LTA is unknown, mutants display significant growth and physiological defects. Additionally, modification of the LTA backbone structure can provide protection against cationic antimicrobial peptides. This review provides an overview of the different LTA types and their chemical s...
