Objective: Differences in bone density before and after regenerative endodontic treatment were examined in teeth with periapical lesions in Hounsfield Units (HUs) by using Cone Beam Computed

INTRODUCTION Sinus tract is one of the manifestations of chronic dental infections, which is a path for the drainage of the infection and pus. The present study was aimed to investigate the prevalence of sinus tract with dental origin analyze the correlation between sinus tract and related factors. METHODS This study was conducted on 1527 patients, visiting Kermanshah school of dentistry, in ...

OBJECTIVES The development of treated implant surfaces, added to the increase of the aesthetic requirements by the patients has led to a change in the treatment protocols as well as the development of techniques such as the one-fase implants and the immediate prosthetic loading. One of the usual contraindications of the implant treatment is the presence of periapical disease associated to the t...

Traumatic injuries commonly affect the anterior teeth leading to slow death of the pulp. This may give rise to a periapical or radicular cyst which results from the proliferation of cell rests of Malassez following pulpal necrosis of a nonvital tooth. This condition is usually asymptomatic but can result in a slow-growth tumefaction in the affected region. On radiography the lesion can be seen ...

In the oral cavity, extranodal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma can occur in the periapical region either in the maxilla or mandible. Also, it can mimic inflammatory lesions that arise around the teeth apices such as periapical granuloma, radicular cyst and osteomyelitis. Misdiagnosis of lymphomas in the jaws may reduce the chance of successful treatment and worsen the prognosis. Therefore, any growth of...

AIM To determine the presence of various periapical pathologies and their association with the presence and extent of internal apical inflammatory root resorption in human teeth. METHODOLOGY A total of 75 root apices from extracted teeth with periapical lesions were examined. Semi-serial sections of soft tissue lesions were stained with HE. The lesions were classified as non-cystic or cystic,...

dens invagination is a developmental anomaly requiring specific treatment approaches. oehler's type iii dens in dente, extends into the root and perforates at the apical area or lateral surface of the root. in this case endodontic treatment of the invaginated tooth was carried out through the central lumen of the invagination with calcium hydroxide without manipulation of the main pulp canal, t...

AIM This prospective clinical study explored the influence of calcium hydroxide as an interappointment dressing on the healing of periapical lesions associated with pulpless teeth that had not been endodontically treated previously. This was achieved by comparing the prognosis after a two-visit root canal treatment with that following a one-visit treatment. METHODOLOGY Seventy-three patients ...

This case report describes the non - surgical management of a large periapical lesion using Metapex as intracanal dressing and root canal therapy. Periapical lesions usually develop in non-vital teeth result chronic aggression by pathogenic microorganisms into which may appear radiolucent radiographs. Treatment such varies from non-surgical means depending on individual. In era minimally invasi...
