Immunopathogenesis of chronic periapical lesions. A review.

چکیده
The pathogenesis of periapical lesions has not been fully elucidated. Currently, the possibility of its being an immunologic phenomenon is receiving much attention. This article presents a review of the literature concerning immunologic reactions which may involve periapical lesions. It appears that antigen-antibody complexes and IgE-mediated reactions can initiate preliminary changes in periapical tissues. It is also likely that delayed hypersensitivity participates in the perpetuation and progression of periapical disease.

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...

Background and purpose: Periapical inflammatory lesions are localized periapical bone reactions that result from pulp necrosis and inflammation or periodontal diseases. Inappropriate treatments are often considered as one of the main factors associated with apical periodontitis. This study was done to evaluate periapical radiolucencies in panoramic radiographs. Materials and methods: In this c...
متن کاملQuantitation of circulating immune complexes in patients with chronic periapical lesions.
Quantitation of circulating immune complexes (CIC) was done in 45 patients with chronic periapical lesions. The levels were compared with those of age-matched healthy individuals. Both patients with chronic periapical granuloma and periapical cysts showed significantly higher levels of CIC than the controls. This observation indicates that the continuous presence of root canal antigens may caus...
