Purpose: To relate the clinical and histopathological findings of periapical inflammatory lesions treated by endodontic surgery with the results of histopathological investigation of the same lesions.
Materials and methods: Forty biopsies obtained during periapical surgery were histologically analyzed following curettage of the tissue, establishing the diagnosis as either periapical granuloma, radicular cyst, or abscess. The radiographic size of the lesion (area in cm2) before surgery and after 2 years of follow-up was measured. The evolution at 48 months after surgery was evaluated according to the criteria of von Arx and Kurt. A statistical study was made, the inter-variable relationships were studied using analysis of variance with subsequent Tukey testing and calculation of Pearson?s cor.. View More»
