Roman city Cibalae (Vinkovci) - the birthplace of Roman emperors Valentinian I and Valens was a very well developed urban ares in the late antique what was evidenced by numerous archaeological findings. The aim of this paper is to get insight in dental health of antique population of Cibalae. One hundred individuals with 2041 teeth dated to 3rd - 5th century AD have been analyzed for caries, an...

Introduction: Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) has a variety of possible uses, including root-end filling material due to its excellent sealing ability in the presence of moisture and a high degree of biocompatibility. Aim: This case report demonstrates the use of MTA as an obturating material to promote periapical healing of root canals with large apical rarefactions. Materials and Methods: An...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of apical foramen widening on the healing of chronic periapical lesions in dogs' teeth after root canal filling with Sealer 26 or Endomethasone. STUDY DESIGN Forty root canals of dogs' teeth were used. After pulp extirpation, the canals were exposed to the oral cavity for 180 days for induction of periapical lesions, and then instr...

OBJECTIVE The aim was to evaluate the influence of multiple factors on the periapical status of endodontically treated (ET) teeth. METHODS The patients were clinically and radiographically reevaluated after root canal therapy. The quality of the root-filled canals, coronal restorations, intraradicular posts, dental caries, and periodontal parameters were associated with the teeth's periapical...

T he clinician is often confronted with the problem of treating an extensive periapical lesion which may be cystic as a result of pulpal pathosis. Surgical management by curettement and/or apical resection has usually been the accepted procedure for such lesions. However, in cases in which extensive periapical lesions are visualized on the roentgenograms, a surgical approach can create complica...

Numerous bacteriological studies have been made clinically of the periapical region, but unfortunately the findings of the teeth have been inadequately correlated with the bacteriological results. Moreover, the emphasis has been placed on pulpless teeth or on those showing periapical roentgenological changes; studies made on normal teeth have been comparatively few. This made difficult an evalu...

Whether micro-organisms can live in periapical endodontic lesions of asymptomatic teeth is under debate. The aim of the present study was to visualize and identify micro-organisms within periapical lesions directly, using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) in combination with epifluorescence and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). Thirty-nine periapical lesions were surgically rem...

Dens invaginatus is an anomaly of the tooth formation of embryonic origin that presents itself in several morphologic types. The complex anatomy of these teeth makes nonsurgical endodontic treatment complex and more so when its apex is immature. The 2 cases reported illustrate the nonsurgical endodontic management of a dens invaginatus type II and type III with an immature apex and periapical l...

Objectives: The aim of this case report is to describe radiographically the specific features periapical cysts differentiate them from dentigerous cyst lesions despite their similar clinical appearance.
 Case Report: A 21-year-old female patient came Dental Hospital in Bandung with a referral for cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) examination diagnosis suspected right mandibular and left...

Today, there are several diagnostic methods that allow you to determine the exact size and nature of periapical formations. In addition, studies describe thickening sinus mucosa in patients with lesions show a causal relationship. Objectives: This study was morphological changes cysts maxillary sinus. Methods: 50 were evaluated. A total sinuses (13 men 12 women) analyzed taking into account den...
