Periapical condensing osteitis and endodontic treatment.

Forty-nine roots of thirty-six teeth with the diagnosis of condensing osteitis were followed up by means of radiographs and patient files after endodontic treatment. The mean observation period was 4.3 years. Prior to endodontic treatment the periodontal membrane was widened on thirty-eight roots but on follow-up only on twelve. The periapical condensing osteitis showed total regression on thirty-six of the forty-nine roots. No condensing osteitis showed progress. The results show rebuilding of bone structures to normal appearance after endodontic treatment of periapical condensing osteitis.

Scanning electron microscopic investigation of maxillary lateral incisors with a radicular lingual groove.

Fourteen human lateral incisors with a radicular lingual groove were observed under the scanning electron microscope to explore the communications between the groove and the pulp cavity. Observations showed that accessory foramina could be found not only in the groove, but also in the corresponding wall of the pulp cavity and a cross section. A complete lack of closure of the calcified tissues along the groove, allowing for direct connection of the pulp and the periodontium, was not found in these specimens. Therefore, it is suggested that accessory canals are the main way of communication between the pulp and the periodontium of the incisors with a radicular lingual groove. Because the accessory canals could be found either in the crown part or in the root part of the groove, infectious materials may get into the pulp cavity when there are pathologic conditions either through accessory foramina in the crown part or through accessory foramina exposed by localized periodontitis around the groove.

Complex odontoma as a periapical and interradicular radiopacity in a primary molar.

Only rarely is a mature complex odontoma seen in a periapical location and in association with a primary tooth. Complex odontomas usually present as a radiopacity with a radiolucent rim. The differential diagnosis must include mature fibro-osseous lesions (e.g. cementoblastoma). Complex odontomas can be differentiated from fibro-osseous lesions because they usually present a nonhomogeneous radiopacity and almost always will present as solitary lesions. For complex odontomas located in the periapical region, the differential diagnosis must include idiopathic periapical osteosclerosis. In this case, the presence of the radiolucent rim and the presence of denser, sharper radiopacities produced by enamel distinguish the odontoma.

Ultrasonic root-end preparation: clinical and radiographic evaluation of results.

PURPOSE: This study evaluated the results of periradicular surgery performed using ultrasonic root-end preparation. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The course of healing during observation periods ranging from 6 months to 3 years was examined in 157 teeth. RESULTS: One hundred forty-five teeth were successfully treated, for a success rate of 92.4%. CONCLUSION: It was concluded that the ultrasonic root-end preparation technique for periradicular surgery is a simple procedure that provides excellent results.

In vivo findings associated with heat generation during thermomechanical compaction of gutta-percha. 2. Histological response to temperature elevation on the external surface of the root.

An in vivo investigation is described and a histological evaluation made of the effect of canal obturation by thermomechanical compaction of gutta-percha and sealer on the cementum on the lateral surface of the root and adjacent periodontal membrane and alveolar bone of the ferret canine after time intervals of 24 hours, 20 days and 40 days. These tissue reactions were compared with those in the roots of control teeth filled by lateral condensation of cold gutta-percha and sealer. Iatrogenic damage was apparent in a minority of the experimental specimens 20 and 40 days after obturation.

Pulpal and radicular changes following maxillary subapical corticotomy.

Pulpal and radicular changes after subapical corticotomy in combination with posterior transfer of the maxilla were studied histopathologically using monkey jaws. When the surgical procedures were successful, the pulp tissues were kept alive, even though some slight atrophy and degeneration appeared. In some cases, however, severe reticular atrophy occurred which might be due to anaemia during operations.

Histological evaluation of a replanted tooth retained for 49 years.

A maxillary incisor that had been replanted immediately after avulsion 49 years previously was evaluated histologically after extraction. The histological evaluation revealed resorption of the apical root surface, depositions in cement with different phases and mineral density, and histological changes in the periodontal ligament.
