The Authors, through a review of the literature, analyzed the role played by Endotoxins in the pathogenesis of the periodontal lesions. It is furthermore considered the therapeutic problem of the necessity of a complete removal of such substances from the dental root in arder to obtain a radicular surface which could allow a good healing of the periodontal lesions.

Tooth vitality and periapical healing: is Biodentine at par with MTA in regenerative endodontics?
Evid Based Dent
January 2025
All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Bathinda, Punjab, India.
Design: The study is a prospective, double-blinded randomised control trial that compares the mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and Biodentine as the pulp space barrier material after induction of a periapical blood clot by over-instrumentation for endodontic regeneration in single-rooted mature permanent anterior tooth (closed apex) with apical periodontitis (periapical pathology of more than 3 mm) and having necrosed pulp. A total of 36 patients were included in the study and after randomisation were allocated equally to both the groups out of which 31 patients returned for follow-up over an 18-month period. The treatment protocol consisted of two separate appointments.

Insights Imaging
January 2025
Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, University Hospital of Zurich, University Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland.
Objectives: To compare and correlate bone edema volume detected by 3D-short-tau-inversion-recovery (STIR) sequence to osseous decay detected by a T1-based sequence and conventional panoramic radiography (OPT).
Materials And Methods: Patients with clinical evidence of apical periodontitis were included retrospectively and received OPT as well as MRI of the viscerocranium including a 3D-STIR and a 3D-T1 gradient echo sequence. Bone edema was visualized using the 3D-STIR sequence and periapical hard tissue changes were evaluated using the 3D-T1 sequence.
The Impact of Posterior Maxillary Teeth on Maxillary Sinus: Insights From Cone-Beam Computed Tomography Analysis.
Cureus
December 2024
Faculty of Dentistry, Pharos University, Alexandria, EGY.
Background Odontogenic maxillary sinusitis arises mainly from dental origins, emphasizing the connection between dental health and sinus issues. Understanding these relationships is crucial for implant planning, sinus augmentation procedures, and managing post-extraction complications. This knowledge can help clinicians make informed decisions about treatment timing and approach.

Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, School of Dentistry, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran.
Investigating the pattern of extension in the periapical (PA) inflammatory lesions is important in the treatment plan and prognosis of treatment. This study evaluated the topography of PA inflammatory lesions in the first molars using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). In this descriptive study, 197 CBCT images about patients in the age group of 14-77 years were analyzed.

Department of Dentistry, School of Dentistry, College of Medicine, National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan.
Background/purpose: Studies have demonstrated a relation between hypercholesterolemia and development of apical periodontitis (AP), but the underlying mechanism is uncertain. 27-hydroxycholesterol (27HC), produced by cytochrome P450 27A1 (CYP27A1)-catalyzed hydroxylation of cholesterol, is known to possess pro-inflammatory activity. Felodipine is an anti-hypertensive agent able to inhibit CYP27A1.
