Focal cemento-osseous dysplasia (FCOD) is a benign fibroosseous condition that can be seen in dentulous and edentulous patients. It is an asymptomatic lesion and needs no treatment; however, follow-up is essential due to the possibility that it can progress to a condition called florid cemento-osseous dysplasia. Clinically, the lesion resembles periapical pathosis of odontogenic origin. FCOD is...

persistent microorganisms in the root canal are known to cause endodontic treatments failure. overextended gutta-percha can also act as a periradicular tissue irritant, leading to large periapical lesions. retrieval of overextended gutta-percha with a nonsurgical approach can prove to be a challenge. this case describes the nonsurgical management of a large periapical lesion associated with ove...

PURPOSE The purpose of this clinical feasibility study was to evaluate the applicability of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the assessment of apical periodontitis in direct comparison with cone beam CT (CBCT). MATERIALS AND METHODS 19 consecutive patients (average age 43 ± 13 years) with 34 lesions in total (13 molars, 14 premolars and 7 front teeth) were enrolled in this feasibility stu...

long-term success of endodontic treatment is precisely and completely dependent on adequate and appropriate cleaning and shaping of the root canal along with proper and correct obturation of the entire prepared space. this paper aims to report an exceptionally and novel non-surgical and orthograde endodontic therapy on maxillary right central incisor with an extensive radiolucent lesion. a 17-y...

b a u c g picoectomy involves the surgical management of tooth with a periapical lesion which cannot be esolved by conventional endodontic treatment root canal therapy or endodontic retreatment). ecause the term “apicoectomy” consists of only ne aspect (removal of root apex) of a complex eries of surgical procedures, the terms “periapical urgery” or “periradicular surgery” are more approriate. ...

Introduction: The marginal bone change of 1 year loading was evaluated in the non-microthread collar and platform switching structured INNO® dental implant of which the surface is treated with the RBM sandblasting, hyper-thermal acid etching and alkali solution cleaning process for hydrophilic macroand micro-porosity. Material and Methods: A total of 144 implants were placed in the healed ridge...

Extrusion of root filling material had been shown to reduce the success endodontic treatment. This case report describes management a patient who reported prolonged, persistent, and increasing pain on an upper filled central incisor with extruded material. A 28-year-old female came chief complaint tenderness left incisor. The was mostly triggered by mastication. Upon examination investigation, ...

Endodontic surgery aims at the resolution of a periapical inflammatory process by surgical access followed by enucleation of the lesion and root-end filling to curb any potentially noxious agent within the physical confines of the affected root. Guided bone regeneration could be associated to endodontic surgery aiming to enhance periradicular tissue regeneration. The objective of this paper was...

The purpose of this case report is to describe the successful endodontic treatment and surgical management of a unesthetic geminated permanent maxillary lateral incisor tooth. Geminated maxillary incisor clinically revealed bifid crown with coronal groove and intraoral periapical radiograph showing radiolucent lesion with sclerotic border. orthograde root canal treatment was performed. surgery ...

A major paraclinical diagnostic method for the early and late follow-up of the healing process in chronic periapical lesions is the two-dimensional radiographic technique. About 32% of the periapical lesions are detected during a routine radiographic examination of neighboring teeth. Most of the periapical lesions are classified as granulomas, cysts and abscesses. The radiographic images of the...
