    Study Notes

    Periapical Granuloma

    • A periapical granuloma is a chronic inflammatory reaction at the apex of a tooth root.
    • It may progress to a periapical cyst or a periapical abscess.
    • In the later stage, neutrophils produce enzymes that break down the surrounding tissue.
    • Characteristic features of periapical granuloma include a chronic inflammatory reaction, fibrovascular tissue, and a mixture of acute and chronic inflammatory cells.

    Clinical Features of Chronic Periapical Granuloma

    • Associated symptoms, such as pain and swelling, decrease over time.
    • Radiographic features may include a radiolucent area at the apex of the tooth.

    Alveolar Osteitis (Dry Socket)

    • Recommended treatment is pain management, irrigation, and dressing of the socket.
    • Risk factors include traumatic extraction, poor oral hygiene, and smoking.
    • The affected extraction site appears empty, with a whitish or yellowish material at the base.
    • Less frequent symptom is fever.
    • The condition can develop due to bacterial contamination, food impaction, or trauma to the socket.

    Acute Apical Periodontitis

    • Characteristic feature is a sudden, severe pain.
    • Clinical and radiographic features include pain, swelling, and a radiolucent area at the apex of the tooth.

    Endodontic Treatment

    • Goal is to reduce the microbial load.
    • Recommended treatment for symptomatic cases of periapical granuloma is root canal treatment (RCT).
    • Significance of the quality of coronal restoration in RCT is crucial to prevent further infection.
    • Recommended follow-up period after RCT is 6-12 months.

    Periapical Cyst

    • Characteristic feature is a sac-like structure containing fluid and lined with epithelium.

    Histopathology

    • Characteristic feature of periapical granuloma is a mixture of acute and chronic inflammatory cells.
    • Histopathologic feature of periapical granuloma is a chronic inflammatory reaction with fibrovascular tissue.
