Extraoral periapical radiography: an alternative approach to intraoral periapical radiography
It is difficult to take intraoral radiographs in some patients who are intolerable to place the film in their mouth. For these patients, Newman and Friedman recommended a new technique of extraoral film placement. Here we report various cases that diagnostic imaging was performed in patients using the extraoral periapical technique. This technique was used to obtain the radiographs for the pati...
متن کاملMacrophages in periapical lesions.
Macrophages are major constituents of periapical granulomas. They have a central protective role in both innate immunity and adoptive, antigen-specific immune response. Macrophage activation may occur in periapical granulomas by cytokines produced by antigen-activated T-lymphocytes; by bacterial endotoxin, as part of the innate immunity; or by both these processes. Recent studies in athymic ani...
متن کاملEndotoxic activity in periapical lesions.
Thirty tissue samples were examined histologically and classified as being inflamed (apical granulomas) or noninflamed (scars or noninflamed cysts). The samples were then homogenized in pyrogen-free water and treated to remove interfering substances. The presence of endotoxin was then determined by means of the limulus assay; 75 percent of the inflamed tissues were positive for endotoxin, while...
متن کاملHistopathologic examination to confirm diagnosis of periapical lesions: a review.
Most periapical lesions are represented by inflammatory cysts, granulomas, abscesses or fibrous scars. These inflammatory conditions are often termed "endodontic lesions" because pulpal necrosis is the initiating event in their pathogenesis. Although rare, other clinically confusing periapical lesions have been extensively documented in numerous case reports and short case series. These lesions...
متن کاملAssessment of periapical status: a comparative study using film-based periapical radiographs and digital panoramic images.
AIM To compare the use of film-based periapical radiographs and digital panoramic images displayed on monitor and glossy paper in the assessment of the periapical status of the teeth. METHODOLOGY A total of 86 subjects were examined. All participants underwent a full-mouth radiographic survey (14 periapical radiographs) and a digital panoramic radiography. The periapical status of all apprais...
