Aim: The aim of this study was to present and analyze detailed clinicopathological data of periapical cysts (PCs) and periapical granuloma (PG) in a cohort of 135 cases from the South Indian Population.
Methodology: The present study included 135 cases of PC and PG out of 2696 biopsies submitted over 3 years. The clinicodemographic data which included age, gender, location, radiographic appearance, and treatment were collected along with the histopathological examination of the biopsied specimen. Data were entered in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, 2021, and analyzed using SPSS software ver. 26.
Results: There were 71 cases of PG and 64 cases of PC. The mean age of occurrence in PG was slightly lower than cases in PC. Irrespective of the group, there was a clear male preponderance, and maxillary permanent central incisors were most commonly affected. However, no significant difference was noted. Radiographically, PC significantly showed more well-defined corticated radiolucent lesions compared to PG where most cases were ill-defined (69.01%). Histologically, all cases showed classic features for diagnosis with additional histological characteristics which may aid in diagnosis.
Conclusion: PG was more common than PC. There was a predilection for the male gender in both lesions. The actual incidence of these lesions would be actually high, as some cases are lost to private practitioners, and not all the lesions are submitted for histopathological examination.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the expression levels of hypoxia-inducible factor 1-α (HIF-1α) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in radicular cysts and periapical granulomas, thereby contributing to the understanding of their potential significance in the differential diagnosis and treatment of these lesions.
Materials And Methods: In the present cross-sectional study, 51 samples of periapical lesions were included. Of them, 24 samples were radicular cysts, and 27 samples were periapical granulomas.
CD34 and Ki-67 Immunoexpression in Periapical Granulomas: Implications for Angiogenesis and Cellular Proliferation.

Background/objectives: The main mechanism of the formation of granulation tissue is the progression of an infection from the tooth to the periapical bone. At this level, the immune system tries to localize and annihilate the microorganism's injury. Ki-67 is a protein directly associated with the cell proliferation rate, while CD34 is a biomarker involved in angiogenesis, and studies suggest that they both have a positive correlation with the intensity of the local inflammatory infiltrate.

Periapical lesions with mixed radiographic appearance can have odontogenic or nonodontogenic origin. A number of neoplastic lesions either benign or malignant can present as radiolucent, radiopaque, or mixed in jaws and if present near the root apices can be misdiagnosed as odontogenic infection/etiology. The present case report describes a rare case of two elongated radiopaque structures within periapical pathology located beneath the apices of mandibular central incisors in a 26-year-old male.

Objectives: This study investigates whether latent Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) can be reactivated by n-butyric acid from Pseudoramibacter alactolyticus, and if such reactivation induces expression of interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-6 in periapical granulomas.
Methods: We analyzed periapical granulomas and healthy gingival tissues to detect the presence of EBV and P. alactolyticus.

Article Synopsis
- Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a useful imaging method for diagnosing dental issues and understanding the link between maxillary sinuses and dental roots, emphasizing the need for careful assessment of incidental findings.
- A study analyzed CBCT scans from 300 individuals between 18 to 70 years old to evaluate the prevalence of incidental maxillary sinus pathologies and their connection to dental diseases.
- Findings revealed that 52.05% of subjects had incidental maxillary sinus findings, with a higher occurrence in males and those aged 46 to 55, showing various associations between sinus issues and dental conditions.
