Introducción: La prevalencia de periodontitis apical en dientes con tratamiento endodóntico oscila entre el 35 y 60%, se ha encontrado una fuerte asociación respecto al grado inflamación sistémica generada por la apical, como ejemplo altos niveles citoquinas proinflamatorias, proteína C reactiva e interleuquina 6; estudios refieren que un adecuado puede reducir los individuos sanos apical.

INTRODUCTION Recently, it has been shown that it is possible to treat an immature tooth with an infected pulp space and apical periodontitis in such a way as to heal and promote the ingrown of new vital tissue into the pulp space. However, the type of new-grown tissue is unclear. METHODS Based on the samples of a previously reported study, we further investigated histologically the types of t...

Apical periodontitis is an inflammatory disorder of periradicular tissues caused by aetiological agents of endodontic origin. The subject has been reviewed by Nair. (1)(2) They are believed to result from inflammatory processes in the periapical tissues associated with bacterial infection and necrosis of the dental pulp in carious teeth. As a consequence of these processes and the inability of ...

Regenerative endodontic treatment (RET) is a biologically based approach to provide root development and increase the prognosis of teeth. The purpose this case series was evaluate clinical radiological results RET using platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), in 4 immature teeth with necrotic pulps. At end 18-24-month follow-up, no symptoms were recorded. Apical closure observed 3 All preoperative periapic...
