background periapical lesions are induced in response to injuries to periapical tissues, which are generally the result of infections within the root canal. mast cells actively participate to the inflammatory infiltration of periapical granulomas and cysts. objectives the aim of this study was to detect and compare the presence of mast cells in inflammatory periapical lesions, including cysts a...

radicular cysts arising from deciduous teeth are rare. this report presents a case of radicular cyst associated with a primary molar following pulp therapy and discusses the relationship between pulp therapy and the rapid growth of the cyst. the treatment consisted of enucleation of the cyst sac and extraction of the involved primary teeth and 20 months follow up of the patient. early diagnosis...

BACKGROUND Lumbosacral radicular pain is a common clinical finding with a statistical prevalence ranging from 9.9% to 25% in the general population. OBJECTIVE To investigate the effectiveness of dorsal root ganglion pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) in patients with chronic lumbosacral radicular pain and neuropathic features. STUDY DESIGN Prospective case series clinical outcome study. METHODS ...

BACKGROUND Most lumbar artificial discs are still composed of stainless steel alloys, which prevents adequate postoperative diagnostic imaging of the operated region when using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Thus patients with postoperative radicular symptoms or claudication after stainless steel implants often require alternative diagnostic procedures. METHODS Possible complications of lu...

objectives: this study aimed to assess the radicular wall thickness in mandibular incisors with two canals and find the maximum and minimum thickness to prevent root canal treatment (rct) procedural errors. materials and methods: a total of 160 extracted mandibular incisors were selected and radiographed; out of which, 55 had two canals. three parallel transverse sections were made in each toot...

Radicular cysts arise from non-vital teeth. They are inflammatory in nature and are the most common cystic lesion found in the jaw. We present a case of a massive maxillary radicular cyst in a 20 year-old man, diagnosed following an alleged assault and facial fracture. Subsequent abscess formation was initially thought to be infection secondary to haematoma due to fracture, but further investig...

This is the first report of a case of sacral radicular cysts in a patient with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). A 46-year-old woman with ADPKD was found to have bilateral sacral radicular cysts discovered incidentally by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Cysts arising from arachnoid or spinal meningeal sac should be considered one of the manifestations of a more widespread ...

The maxillofacial region is affected by a greater number of cysts than any other part of the body. In this study, 90 odontogenic cysts were collected from 90 patients over a five-year period. Patients with radicular cysts, dentigerous cysts and odontogenic keratocysts were further analyzed with regard to age, sex and anatomical distribution. Using the histological classification of the World He...
