Current, relevant knowledge on the outcome of endodontic therapy is key to clinical decision making, particularly when endodontic treatment is weighed against tooth extraction and replacement. Inherent to reviewing the outcome is a definition of "success" in relation to the goals of therapy. As the specific goal set out by the individual patient may either be healing/prevention of disease (apic...

Specimens of human immature permanent teeth after regenerative endodontic treatment (RET) are sparse. This case report describes the histologic and immunohistochemical findings of tissue formed in the canal space of a human immature permanent tooth with apical periodontitis after RET. A patient presenting with immature human permanent tooth #29 with apical periodontitis underwent RET. At the 10...

BACKGROUND AND THE PURPOSE OF THE STUDY There are strong evidences linking overproduction of reactive oxygen species and periodontal diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate efficacy of Angipars a natural potent anti oxidative agent on markers of the oxidative damages and periodontal inflammation in the rat. METHODS Periodontitis was induced by single injection of lipopolysaccharide (L...

Apical periodontitis is a disease frequently observed, inducing discomfort. Nerves in periodontal ligament may be involved the appearance of this symptom. Nerve endings are reportedly stained with anti-calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) antibody or anti-growth-associated protein 43 (GAP-43) antibody. Previous studies investigated kinetics structures positive for various antibodies on format...

dens invagination is a developmental anomaly requiring specific treatment approaches. oehler's type iii dens in dente, extends into the root and perforates at the apical area or lateral surface of the root. in this case endodontic treatment of the invaginated tooth was carried out through the central lumen of the invagination with calcium hydroxide without manipulation of the main pulp canal, t...

The aim of this retrospective investigation was to assess the medical status of the mouth of patients who presented themselves to an endodontist, taking into consideration: patient’s age, reason for coming to a dentist, diagnosed and treated apical periodontitis. Two years’ medical history of patients, who presented themselves to the endodontist, have been studied. In 1995-1996 among 336 patien...

This article describes 2 cases that showed persistent intracanal exudation (wet canal) even after several visits of antimicrobial endodontic treatment. Histologic and histobacteriologic investigation was conducted for determination of the cause. The 2 cases involved teeth with apical periodontitis lesions, which presented persistent exudation refractory to treatment after several visits. In cas...
