Correlation between inflammatory infiltrate and epithelial lining in 214 cases of periapical cysts

Correlation between inflammatory infiltrate and epithelial lining in 214 cases of periapical cysts.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of periapical cysts, identify their clinical and microscopic features and correlate their microscopic features with the inflammatory infiltrate present in the lesion site. A total of 214 cases were collected over a 10-year period. Clinical data, including gender, age, race, symptoms and location of the lesion, were recorded. Two independent e...

Evaluation of epithelial lining thickness responding to inflammatory infiltration in Radicular cyst , inflammatory dentigerous cysts and odontogenic keratocycts

Background and Aims: radicular cyct(RC), dentigerus cyct(DC) and odontogenic keratocyct(OKC) are the most common odontogenic cycts, respectively. Awareness of the clinical and histopathological characteristics of these lesions is very important in dental treatments, that inflammatory cell infiltration can play an important role in DC and OKCthese odontogenic cysts’ clinical presentationspathoge...

Immunohistochemical expression of TGF-β1 and MMP-9 in periapical lesions.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the expression of matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β1) in periapical lesion samples correlated with the intensity of the inflammatory infiltrate and thickness of the epithelial lining. Forty-five cases of periapical lesions (23 periapical granulomas and 22 radicular cysts) were subjected to morphological and ...

Epithelial lining cysts' sclerotherapy using hypertonic saline and bleomycin

Radiographic features of periapical cysts and granulomas.

Many studies have been reported on radiographic lesion sizes of periapical lesions. However no studies have been reported on prevalences of subjective radiographic features in these lesions except for the early assumption that a periapical cyst usually exhibit a radiopaque cortex. This study is conducted to evaluate the prevalences of several subjective radiographic features of periapical cysts...
