Abstract Objective The goal of primary and secondary endodontic treatment is to eliminate the cause inflammation inside tooth in surrounding tissues. When from root canal system spreads beyond apex root, periapical changes bone tissue and, case upper premolars molars, inflammatory Schneider membrane may occur. Materials Methods In a retrospective documentation analysis treatments, three-dimensi...

This study quantitatively assessed the periapical bone repair following endodontic surgery, using planimetric evaluation based on two- (conventional and digital intraoral radiographic images - IRs) and three-dimensional (cone beam computed tomography - CBCT) evaluation. Eleven maxillary anterior teeth (of 11 patients) with periapical bone lesions and indication for surgical endodontic treatment...

Case report CASE 1: This case presented A 29year-old male who complained of acute nocturnal pain at the right maxillary central incisor level. His medical history was not contributory with the exception of an episode of renal colic. Intraoral examination revealed a small lesion at the cervical-distal angle of 1.1, and a change in underlying coloration to a pinkish tone. Periapical radiogaphy re...

INTRODUCTION Procedural accidents have a negative effect on healing and might contribute to the persistence of infections in inaccessible apical areas, requiring surgical intervention. This report describes a case of persistent apical periodontitis of a lower left first molar associated with the sinus tract and a periapical lesion that required nonsurgical endodontic retreatment and apical surg...

BACKGROUND Leptin, initially described as an adipocyte-derived hormone to regulate weight control, is expressed in normal and inflamed human dental pulp, being up-regulated during pulp experimental inflammation. Leptin receptor (LER) has been identified in human periapical granulomas. The aim of this study was to analyze and characterize the expression of leptin in human periapical granulomas. ...

Stem cells are the pluripotent cells that have the capacity to differentiate into other specialized cells. Recently, many experiments have been conducted to study the potentiality of stem cells in the tissue regeneration. We report two cases treated utilizing stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) in the management of periapical lesions in permanent teeth. Two normal human deci...
