Dens invaginatus (DI) is a malformation of teeth probably resulting from an infolding of the dental papilla during tooth development. DI is classified as type I, II, and III by Oehlers depending on the severity of malformation. The maxillary lateral incisor is the most commonly affected tooth. Structural defects do exist in the depth of the invagination pits, and as a consequence, the early dev...

AIM To report the endodontic treatment of an immature maxillary central incisor with dens invaginatus. SUMMARY Dens invaginatus is a rare malformation of teeth, probably resulting from an infolding of the dental papilla during tooth development. The present case describes the complex endodontic treatment of a type III dens invaginatus in an immature maxillary central incisor with a necrotic p...

Background: Root canal infection and periapical diseases are caused by bacteria and their products. Long term infection may spread bacteria throughout the root canal system. Apical periodontitis caused by infectious microbe that persistent in root canals can cause radiographic and histopathology periapical changes. Chemomechanical preparation and intracanal dressing then are recommended to be c...

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background There are limited data on whether there is an association between hospitalisation with dental periapical abscess and new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) which independent main cardiovascular risk factors. Purpose To investigate AF. Methods A retrospective cohort study from a national database patients hospitalised in 201...

conclusions based on 8.2 mm cut-off point could differentiate 83% periapical granulomas and 79% radicular cysts from radiography images. background the distinction between radicular cysts and apical granulomas is important in treatment decision. objectives the current study aimed to differentiate these two lesions based on radiography images. results average size of radiography in periapical gr...

Aims: Report a rare case of Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) the maxilla which is difficult to diagnose clinically and radiographically with wide array differential diagnosis lists.
 Presentation Case: A 16-year male well-defined swelling in posterior region right associated pain, paraesthesia, abnormal mobility teeth mimicked localized periodontal abscess. The clinical DLBCL poses ch...

Dental materials especially orthodontic elastics often get embedded in gingival tissues due to iatrogenic factors. If retained for a long time, inflammatory response starts as asymptomatic crestal bone loss and may progress to severe periodontal abscess. Unsupported orthodontic elastics used for diastema closure may result in exfoliation of teeth, while elastic separators may get embedded in in...

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Inflammatory Periapical lesions are the most common periapical lesions. These lesions are often diagnosed based on clinical and radiological examination, which may be different from the histological finding. The present study was carried out with aim to assess the rate and to compare clinical and radiographic features with histological diagnosis of periapical pathology.METHO...

It is well known that living cells have bioelectrical phenomena which could be affected by electric field alteratious. Exposure to an electric field causes considerable changes in metabolic, immunologic and physiologic aspects of biological systems. The possible effect of electrical stimuli on various tissues, in vitro and in vivo, have been anticipated. In this regard, electrotherapy with the ...
