Conventional implant dentistry has been limited to healed edentulous ridges with adequate bone. Predictable success rates resulted in using dental implants in compromised situations such as insertion into old infected sites or near to pathological areas. There is significant data about marginal bone loss and lack of osseointegration around the neck of implants. However, the data about peri apic...

dens invaginatus is a rare developmental anomaly of teeth with complex root canal system morphology. the present case describes a peg shape maxillary lateral incisor with dens invaginatus (oehlers type ii), necrotic pulp, and an associated large periradicular lesion. nonsurgical endodontic treatment was performed with the aim of removing the blind sac with diamond bur under the use of operating...

Background: Periapical cysts are slow-growing that often asymptomatic until they become secondary infections. seen in the periapical region. The choice of therapy may be influenced by a number criteria, including extent lesion, its connection to important structures, point origin, clinical features, patient's level cooperation, and overall health. As result this, current research was carried ou...

Fibro-osseous lesions compose woven or immature bone formed by benign proliferation of spindle cells. Based on radiographic and histologic features, these lesions are grouped into many specifi c entities.[1] The overlapping histological and confusing nomenclature can be simplifi ed by their radiographic presentation. They are clearly defi ned by their pattern in plain radiograph or in computed ...

Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) provides images without overlapping anatomical structures, which is important for the diagnosis and assessment of florid cemento-osseous dysplasia. This fibro-osseous lesion that affects alveolar process compromising teeth’ pulp vitality usually asymptomatic, bone expansion, cortical disruption, root resorption are uncommon. Due to its avascular characterist...

BACKGROUND AND AIM: A periapical endodontic surgery is an alternative treatment when teeth are not responding to conventional treatment and endodontic re-treatment.CASE REPORT: The following case report presents a clinical case of maxillary right and left central incisors with unsatisfying endodontic surgery and severe sensitivity in the buccal mucous membrane. Radiographic examination revealed...

INTRODUCTION This study evaluated the in vivo response of apical and periapical tissues of dogs' teeth with apical periodontitis after one-session endodontic treatment with and without antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT). METHODS Sixty root canals with experimentally induced apical periodontitis were instrumented and assigned to 4 groups receiving aPDT and root canal filling (RCF) or no...

Blessed Egidio was a revered Catholic friar who lived in Basilicata (southern Italy) between the 15th and 16th centuries A.D. His natural mummy is preserved Mother Church of Laurenzana, village where he lived. During recent restoration conservation relic, palaeopathological analysis carried out.
