The anatomical complexity of the root canal system maxillary molars is considered a challenge to endodontic treatment. aim this study was compare different diagnostic methods for identification MB2: clinical examination (CE), dental operating microscope (DOM), digital periapical radiography (DR), cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and cross sections (CS). Sixty-one were randomly selected. Ini...

Internal inflammatory root resorption (IIRR) can occur as a serious complication of dental trauma which leads to progressive loss the structure. An early diagnosis could influence therapeutic approach, but endodontic treatment becomes challenge with doubtful prognosis. The present report described an unusual clinical presentation IIRR perforation resulting from four years previous. A 15-year-ol...

Numerous studies have reported abnormalities in the development of oral structures congenital infections that also involve microcephaly. In this context, it is necessary to identify possible dental anomalies shape and/or number patients with Zika virus syndrome using radiography. The study population consisted 35 children born ZIKV who underwent intraoral radiographic examinations for 24 consec...

INTRODUCTION Periapical inflammation is often responsible for distinct maxillary sinus (MS) changes. This retrospective, cross-sectional study evaluated the association between the clinical characteristics of periapical lesions (presence, size, and distance) in maxillary posterior teeth and the presence of sinus abnormalities by evaluating cone-beam computed tomographic (CBCT) images obtained f...

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. ...

background: hypertension (htn) is the most commonly encountered systemic disease in general population. nutrient canals contain blood vessels and nerves that mostly appear in the anterior mandibular region. nutrient canals are not detected in radiographs of all patients, and their normalcy is controversial by many investigators. objectives: the present study investigated the correlation between...
