PURPOSE The aim of this study was to systematically review the evidence for periapical implant lesion, which makes a patient more susceptible to the periapical lesion, frequency, symptoms, signs (including radiological findings) and possible treatment options. MATERIAL AND METHODS A systematic literature review and analysis of publications included in PubMed, Embase and Cochrane; articles pub...

The aim of this study was to accomplish quantitative measurement of tissue levels of collagenases (MMP-1, 8 and 13) in chronic inflamed tissues (pulp and periapical lesions), as well as to determine the dependence between collagenase level and the degree of tissue destruction of examined material. Chronic periapical tissues were collected by periapical surgery from 50 teeth with clinically and ...

The case reports describes non surgical healing in periradicular lesions.A conservative approach with 5.25% sodium hypochlorite was used for irrigation, and calcium hydroxide was used for the intra-canal dressing and 2% chlorohexidine as a final irrigant. Periapical healing was observed 1 month after obturation and continued in the 12-month recall. This report confirms that the large size of a ...

UNLABELLED The aim of this study was to investigate the technical quality of root fillings in root filled teeth, their association with periapical status and prevalence of apical periodontitis. MATERIAL AND METHODS The sample consisted of 83 subjects, presenting consecutively as new patients seeking dental care (prosthetic, endodontic and cariologic treatment) in the years 2005/2006. Clinical...

OBJECTIVES Periapical lesions, including periapical cyst (PC), periapical granuloma (PG), and periapical abscess (PA), are frequently affected by chemical/physical damage during root canal treatment or severe bacterial infection, and thus, the differential diagnosis of periapical lesions may be difficult due to the presence of severe inflammatory reaction. The aim of this study was to make diff...

With dawn of era of minimal intervention in dentistry, surgical management of periapical lesions become controversial. Non-surgical or conservative management of periapical lesions not only cause less trauma to the tissues, but also promote faster and less eventful healing. This paper presents successful management of a periapical lesion in a 14 year old male child with calcium hydroxide paste ...

Periapical surgery aims to remove periapical pathology to achieve complete wound healing and regeneration of bone and periodontal tissue. Platelet rich fibrin (PRF) is a wonderful tissue engineering product and has gained much popularity due to its promising results in wound healing by bone induction. The features of this product are an attribute of platelet cells, which, after cellular interac...
