D entists are repeatedly confronted with the problem of diagnosing and treating periapical lesions. Ordinarily, a nonsurgical cndodontic approach is used in treating lesions that are thnnght to be periapicul granulomas, whereas surgical therapy often is used if the lesion is believed to bc cyst,ic. Thus, choice of treatment usually depends on the clinical assessment of the lesion. Accurate difl...

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...

The aim of this study was to quantify radiographically the periapical bone resorption in dogs' teeth contaminated with bacterial endotoxin (LPS), associated or not with calcium hydroxide. After pulp tissue removal, 60 premolars were randomly assigned to 4 groups and were either filled with LPS (group 1), filled with LPS plus calcium hydroxide (group 2) or filled with saline (group 3) for a peri...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of periapical lesions in root canal-treated teeth in a Turkish Cypriote population and to investigate the influence of the quality of root canal fillings and coronal restorations on the prevalence of periapical lesions. SUBJECTS AND METHODS The sample for this cross-sectional study consisted of 1,006 adult patients seeking routine ...

Objectives: This study aimed to compare the efficacy of panoramic radiography and the buccal object rule in intraoral periapical radiography for localization of impacted maxillary canine teeth. Methods: A total of 20 panoramic radiographs depicting 28 displaced maxillary canines were evaluated. The ratio of the mesiodistal width of the impacted canine to the mesiodistal width of the...

This manuscript summarizes the statements and clinical recommendations in periapical implant lesions, as per the state of the art and expert opinion agreement among the participants in the 9th Mozo-Grau Conference 2016 held in Quintanilla (Valladolid, Spain). The current status of the concept, frequency, etiology, diagnosis, clinical classification, surgical procedure and prognosis are describe...

BACKGROUND To determine the prevalence of periapical lesions in root canal-treated teeth in a rural, male adult, Turkish population and to investigate the influence of the quality of root canal fillings on prevalence of periapical lesions. METHODS The sample for this cross-sectional study consisted of 552 adult male patients, 18-32 years of age, presenting consecutively as new patients seekin...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate a new periapical index based on cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) for identification of apical periodontitis (AP). The periapical index proposed in this study (CBCTPAI) was developed on the basis of criteria established from measurements corresponding to periapical radiolucency interpreted on CBCT scans. Radiolucent images suggestive of periapical le...
