  3. Healing of periapical lesions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Healing_of_periapical_lesions

    After endodontic therapy has been executed, or re-executed, successfully, and the canals can no longer provide a nutrient-rich habitat for microbes, [31] the issue of bone healing comes into focus. Ostensibly, then, for regeneration to occur, the root canal system must have been decontaminated and further access to microbial invasion must be ...

    Root canal treatment (also known as endodontic therapy, endodontic treatment, or root canal therapy) is a treatment sequence for the infected pulp of a tooth that is intended to result in the elimination of infection and the protection of the decontaminated tooth from future microbial invasion.

    Meta-analysis shows that 46-100% of idiopathic condylar resorption cases treated with orthognathic surgery experience some degree of relapse. [4] Adverse effects of this approach also include pain, nerve damage, and loss of sensation due to the location of the inferior alveolar nerve .

  6. Tooth resorption - Wikipedia

    Internal resorption is defined by the loss of intraradicular dentin and tubular dentin from within the middle and apical thirds of the root canal(s). It may also present as an incidental, radiographic finding. Radiographically, a radiolucent area of uniform density within the root canal may be visible with well-defined borders.

  8. Periradicular surgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periradicular_surgery

    Symptoms may be due to infection in the periradicular tissue around a root-treated tooth, which can impede healing of the tooth after conventional root canal treatment. [2] After removing the pulp, the aim of endodontic treatment is to seal the pulpal space to prevent further bacterial contamination and allow healing of the periradicular tissue ...

  9. Periapical cyst - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periapical_cyst

    The cyst is tamponaded to allow for the cyst contents to escape the bone. Over time, the cyst decreases in size and bone regenerates in the cavity space. Marsupialization could also be performed, which involves suturing the edges of the gingiva surrounding the cyst to remain open. The cyst then drains its contents and heal without being ...
