Quiste periapical: diagnóstico y tratamiento / Periapical cyst: diagnosis and treatment

Los quistes periapicales o radiculares representan una de las patologías periapicales más frecuentes dentro del grupo de las lesiones quísticas de los maxilares. Son el resultado de la extensión de proce- sos inflamatorios-infecciosos. Su diagnóstico sigue siendo un desafío para el profesional odontológico, quien debe diferenciarlo de otros procesos inflama- torios periapicales. El objetivo del presente artículo es presentar, apoyado en una revisión de la literatura, el caso clínico de un paciente masculino de 38 años de edad que se presentó a la consulta por leve tume- facción indolora en zona anterosuperior del maxilar. A la inspección se observó borramiento de la región del surco vestibular a nivel de piezas dentarias 1.1, 1.2 y 1.3, de color rojizo con crepitación de la tabla ósea vestibular a la palpación. La tomografía de haz cónico mostró lesión osteolítica, extendida desde zona apical de la pieza dentaria 1.4 hasta zona del elemento dentario 1.1. Se realizó la extirpación de la lesión y api- cectomía. El estudio histológico corroboró el diagnós- tico presuntivo de quiste periapical. Los controles a distancia mostraron buena evolución del tratamiento. Se concluyó en la importancia de realizar un correcto diagnóstico clínico e imagenológico para la selección de un adecuado tratamiento según el caso (AU)

Periapical or radicular cysts represent one of the most frequent periapical pathologies within the group of cystic lesions of the jaws. They are the result of the spread of inflammatory-infectious processes. Its diagnosis continues to be a challenge for the dentist, who must differentiate it from other periapical inflammatory processes. The objective of this article is to present, supported by a review of the literature, the clinical case of a 38-year-old male patient who presented to the consultation due to mild painless swelling in the anterosuperior maxilla. Upon inspection, effacement of the vestibular sulcus region was observed at the level of teeth 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3, reddish in color with crepitation of the buccal bone table on palpation. Cone beam tomography showed an osteolytic lesion that extended from the apical area of tooth 1.4 to area of tooth 1.1. Excision of the lesion and apicoectomy were performed. The histological study corroborated the presumptive diagnosis of periapical cyst. Remote controls showed a good evolution of the treatment.

Tratamento cirúrgico conservador de cisto radicular de grande extensão: relato de caso com acompanhamento / Conservative surgical treatment of large extension radicular cyst: case report with follow-up

Introdução: os cistos radiculares são as lesões císticas mais comuns nos maxilares. Eles surgem dos Restos Epiteliais de Malassez, presos no ligamento periodontal e podem ser ativados por um processo inflamatório na região pulpar. Geralmente são descobertos em exames radiográficos de rotina, apresentando-se como uma imagem radiolúcida, bem delimitada, envolvendo o periápice de um ou mais dentes. Objetivo: apresentar o tratamento de um extenso cisto radicular, em região de maxila, com acompanhamento de 18 meses. Relato do caso: Paciente do sexo feminino, 49 anos, foi encaminhada para avaliação e tratamento na Clínica Odontológica da Faculdade Sete Lagoas (FACSETE), apresentando lesão extensa em região maxilar anterior direita ao exame radiográfico. Ao exame clínico, observou-se leve assimetria facial e ausência de sintomas dolorosos. Tomografia computadorizada, punção aspirativa e biópsia incisional foram utilizadas para se chegar ao diagnóstico compatível com cisto radicular. Optou-se por uma técnica conservadora, em que foi realizada a descompressão da lesão. Após 05 meses de tratamento, um novo procedimento cirúrgico foi realizado para enuclear o restante da patologia. Conclusão: a descompressão, com utilização de cânula, é um tratamento auxiliar fácil, conservador, eficaz e reduz a morbidade causada por diferentes cistos odontogênicos(AU)

Introduction: root cysts are the most common cystic lesions in the jaw. They arise from the Epithelial Remains of Malassez, trapped in the periodontal ligament and can be activated by an inflammatory process in the pulp region. They are usually discovered in routine radiographic examinations, presenting as a well-defined radiolucent image involving the periapex of one or more teeth. Objective: to present the treatment of an extensive root cyst, in the maxillary region, with a follow-up of 18 months. Case report: A 49-year-old female patient was referred for evaluation and treatment at the Dental Clinic of Faculdade Sete Lagoas (FACSETE), with an extensive lesion in the right anterior maxillary region on radiographic examination. On clinical examination, mild facial asymmetry and absence of painful symptoms were observed. Computed tomography, aspiration puncture and incisional biopsy were used to reach a diagnosis compatible with radicular cyst. We opted for a conservative technique, in which the lesion was decompressed. After 05 months of treatment, a new surgical procedure was performed to enucleate the rest of the pathology. Conclusion: decompression, using a cannula, is an easy, conservative, effective auxiliary treatment and reduces the morbidity caused by different odontogenic cysts.

Three-dimentional radiographic features of 67 maxillary radicular cysts / 北京大学学报(医学版)

OBJECTIVE@#To analyze the three-dimensional radiographic characteristics of maxillary radi-cular cysts using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and spiral CT.@*METHODS@#Clinical records, histopathological reports, and CBCT or non-enhanced spiral CT images of 67 consecutive patients with maxillary radicular cysts were retrospectively acquired, and radiographic features, including size, shape, expansion, internal structure and relationship with the surrounding tissues, were analyzed. The lesions were divided into three types according to the involved tooth number, as follows: type Ⅰ (single tooth), the epicenter of the cyst was located at the apex of a nonvital tooth, without involvement of the neighbo-ring tooth; type Ⅱ (adjacent tooth involvement), the cyst was located at the apex of a nonvital tooth with involvement of the mesial and/or distal tooth root; and type Ⅲ (multi-teeth), the cyst involved the apexes of ≥4 teeth. Besides, these cysts were classified as another three types on sagittal views, as follows: centripetal, the root apex was oriented centripetally to the center of the cyst; palatal, the cyst was located mainly at the palatal side of the apex; and labial/buccal, the cyst was located mainly at the labial/buccal side of the apex.@*RESULTS@#Totally, 67 patients with maxillary radicular cysts were acquired, including 38 males and 29 females, and their ages ranged from 13 to 77 years. Among them, 46 lesions (68.7%) were located in the anterior maxilla and 65 (97.0%) were round or oval. Labial/buccal cortex expansion was present in 43 cases (64.2%) and palatal cortex expansion in 37 cases (55.2%). The nasal floor was invaded in 27 cases (40.3%), the maxillary sinus was invaginated in 26 cases (38.8%), and root resorption was present in 9 cases (13.4%). The average diameter of lesions was (20.89±8.11) mm mesio-distally and (16.70±5.88) mm bucco-palatally. In spite of the 4 residual cysts, the remaining 63 lesions included 14 type Ⅰ, 26 type Ⅱ and 23 type Ⅲ cysts according to the involved tooth number. Besides, the 63 lesions included 46 centripetal, 15 palatal and 2 buccal cysts on sagittal views.@*CONCLUSION@#The maxillary radicular cysts were frequently well-circumscribed round or oval radiolucency, with significantly different sizes. According to the involved tooth number, it can be divided into single tooth, adjacent tooth involvement and multi-teeth types. On sagittal views, the root-cyst relationship was centripetal in most cases, while a minority of cysts expanded palatally or buccally.

Enucleation of Odontogenic Cyst with Bone Graft / Enucleación de Quiste Odontogénico con Injerto Óseo

ABSTRACT: Periapical cyst originates from an inflammatory reaction in the body that occurs due to a long-term endodontic aggression. It is more prevalent in caucasian male, during the third decade of life, in the anterior portion of the maxilla. They are commonly radiographic findings, due to their asymptomatic aspect. This study reports a Periapical Cyst in the portion corresponding to teeth 21, 22 and 23, which was treated by enucleation of the cyst, apicoectomy and retrograde root filling with Mineral trioxide aggregate (M.T.A) of teeth 21 and 22, filling of the cyst cavity with xenogeneic bone graft GenOx and a collagen membrane Gen-Derm. Observations after three months show good and rapid bone regeneration, periodontal and periapical health of the teeth involved.

RESUMEN: El quiste periapical se origina de una reacción inflamatoria que ocurre debido a una agresión endodóntica a largo plazo. Es más frecuente en el varón caucásico, durante la tercera década de la vida, en la porción anterior del maxilar. Son comúnmente hallazgos radiográficos, debido a su aspecto asintomático. En este estudio informamos acerca de un quiste periapical, en la porción correspondiente a los dientes 21, 22 y 23, que se trató mediante enucleación, apicectomía y relleno de raíz retrógrada con agregado de trióxido mineral (MTA) de los dientes 21 y 22, relleno de la cavidad del quiste con injerto óseo xenogénico Gen-Ox y una membrana de colágeno GenDerm. Las observaciones después de tres meses mostraron una buena y rápida regeneración ósea, con conservación de la salud periodontal y periapical de los dientes involucrados.

Aspectos tomográficos do cisto radicular: relato de dois casos clínicos / Tomographic aspects of the radical cyst: report of two clinical cases

O cisto radicular (CR) é uma lesão aliada à ativação e proliferação dos restos epiteliais de Malassez através de estímulos inflamatórios, decorrente da propagação bacteriana no interior do canal de um dente necrosado. Acomete em maiores proporções a região anterior do osso maxilar (60,5%), e em mulheres (62,8%) com faixa etária superior a 51 anos de idade (25,6%). Geralmente são lesões assintomáticas, porém quando relacionada à infecção bacteriana pode haver sintomatologia. Para se estabelecer uma adequada forma de tratamento é necessário avaliar o local afetado da lesão e as estruturas anatômicas circunjacentes. O objetivo deste trabalho é relatar os aspectos tomográficos do cisto radicular em dois casos clínicos ratificando a importância desse método de imagem auxiliar na determinação e sucesso do tratamento proposto oferecendo ao paciente um melhor prognóstico. A solicitação de exames radiográficos poderá ser efetuada, devendo-se optar por técnicas de imagens que possam fornecer melhores qualidades de informações. A tomografia computadorizada proporciona, devidos as suas características ideais, a visualização tridimensional de lesões císticas e estruturas próximas. Os aspectos tomográficos encontrados são de imagens hipodensas, bem delimitadas, uniloculares, com halos hiperdensos, com rompimento da cortical óssea em determinados casos(AU)

The root cyst (CR) is an injury allied to the activation and proliferation of the Malassez epithelial remains through inflammatory stimuli, due to the bacterial propagation inside the canal of a necrotic tooth. It affects the anterior region of the maxillary bone (60.5%), and in women (62.8%), with an age above 51 years (25.6%). Usually they are asymptomatic lesions, however when related to the bacterial infection there can be symptomatology. In order to establish an adequate form of treatment it is necessary to evaluate the affected site of the lesion and the surrounding anatomical structures. The objective of this work is to report the tomographic aspects of the radicular cyst in two clinical cases ratifying the importance of this method of auxiliary image in the determination and success of the proposed treatment offering the patient a better prognosis. The request for radiographic examinations may be made, and one should opt for imaging techniques that may provide better qualities of information. Computed tomography provides, due to its ideal characteristics, the three-dimensional visualization of cystic lesions and nearby structures. The tomographic aspects found are hypodense, well delimited, unilocular images with hyperdensed halos, with rupture of the cortical bone in certain cases(AU)

Tumor odontogénico adenomatoide extrafolicular de localización mandibular / Mandibular extrafollicular adenomatoid odontogenic tumor

Introducción: el tumor odontogénico adenomatoide es un tumor odontogénico benigno compuesto por epitelio odontogénico con estroma fibroso maduro sin participación del ectomesénquima. Representa entre el 2 por ciento y el 7 por ciento de estos tumores. Más del 90 por ciento aparecen antes de los 30 años con tres variantes clínicas: folicular, extrafolicular y periférica. Su aspecto clínico-radiográfico varía y puede ser confundido con otras lesiones quísticas o neoplásicas de la cavidad bucal, por lo que es necesario el diagnóstico anatomopatológico. Objetivo: presentar un caso de un tumor odontogénico adenomatoide extrafolicular mandibular. Presentación del caso: paciente femenina de 12 años de edad, con aumento de volumen asintomático en la encía mandibular del lado izquierdo, sin antecedentes patológicos de interés, de tiempo de evolución no precisado. Al examen físico se observó aumento de volumen de forma redondeada de 1,5 cm que desplazaba la encía mandibular izquierda entre incisivo lateral y canino. La radiografía reveló una lesión radiolúcida unilocular entre 42 y 43 que expandía la cortical ósea. Se detectó ausencia de vitalidad pulpar de estos dientes. Con el diagnóstico clínico de quiste periapical se realizó excisión quirúrgica, se envió la muestra al laboratorio de Anatomía Patológica, y se concluyó el diagnóstico de tumor odontogénico adenomatoide extrafolicular. Conclusiones: el tumor odontogénico adenomatoide, más común en la maxila, puede presentarse en la mandíbula. Los hallazgos clínico-radiográficos semejan otras lesiones odontogénicas como quistes dentígeros, otras neoplasias y lesiones periapicales inflamatorias, siendo el diagnóstico anatomopatológico el concluyente(AU)

Introduction: adenomatoid odontogenic tumor is a benign odontogenic tumor composed of odontogenic epithelium with mature fibrous stroma without ectomesenchymal involvement. It represents between 2 percent and 7 percent of these tumors. More than 90 percent appear before age 30, with three clinical variants: follicular, extrafollicular and peripheral. Its clinical-radiographic aspect may vary, and it may be confused with other cystic or neoplastic lesions of the oral cavity, hence the need for an anatomo-pathological diagnosis. Objective: present a case of mandibular extrafollicular adenomatoid odontogenic tumor. Case presentation: afemale 12-year-old patient presents with asymptomatic left mandibular gum swelling, with no pathological antecedents of interest and an imprecise time of evolution. Physical examination found a round 1.5 cm swelling displacing the left mandibular gum between the lateral incisor and the canine. Radiography revealed a unilocular radiolucent lesion between teeth 42 and 43 expanding the cortical bone. The teeth involved showed no pulpal vitality. Upon reaching a clinical diagnosis of periapical cyst, surgical excision was performed and a sample was submitted to the Anatomical Pathology laboratory. The anatomo-pathological diagnosis was extrafollicular adenomatoid odontogenic tumor. Conclusions: though more common in the maxilla, adenomatoid odontogenic tumors may also occur in the mandible. Clinical and radiological features may be similar to those of other odontogenic lesions, such as dentigerous cysts, other neoplasms and periapical inflammatory lesions; therefore, the final diagnosis should be provided by anatomo-pathological evaluation(AU)

Large recurrent radicular cyst in maxillary sinus: a case report / Gran quiste radicular recurrente en seno maxilar: reporte de caso

Radicular cyst is the most common inflammatory jaw cystic lesion that occurs in necrotic teeth. They account for more than 50 % of all odontogenic cysts. Radicular cysts cause slowly progressive painless swelling and there are no symptoms until they become large. Enucleating the cyst with endodontic therapy of the affected tooth is recommended as the primary treatment. Here we describe a patient with a large recurrent radicular cyst with maxillary sinus involvement who underwent a midfacial degloving approach for complete enucleation. In conclusion, radicular cyst should be considered in the differential diagnosis of large maxillary sinus lesions and never be discarded until histopathology is available.

El quiste radicular es la lesión inflamatoria quística más común que ocurre en los dientes necróticos. Su presentación abarca más del 50 % de los quistes odontogénicos. Los quistes radiculares se presentan como una inflamación indolora de crecimiento lento y progresivo y se hacen sintomáticas una vez que alcanzan un gran tamaño. El tratamiento primario recomendado para este quiste es la enucleación junto al tratamiento endodóntico de los dientes afectados. Presentamos un reporte de caso de un paciente que presentaba un gran quiste radicular recurrente con envolvimiento de todo el seno maxilar y que fue tratado con un acceso intraoral extendido para lograr la completa enucleación de la lesión. En conclusión, el quiste radicular debe ser siempre considerado en el diagnóstico diferencial de lesiones de gran tamaño que involucren el seno maxilar y nunca ser descartado hasta tener el resultado de histopatología.

Enucleación de quiste periapical simultáneo a la obturación del sistema de conductos radiculares / Periapical cyst enucleation and simultaneous sealing of the root canal system

Introducción: los quistes periapicales representan el tipo más frecuente dentro de los quistes odontogénicos. Su origen está relacionado con una necrosis pulpar y un consecuente estímulo de los restos epiteliales del ligamento periodontal (Malassez). Objetivo: describir un caso clínico de enucleación de quiste periapical simultáneo a la obturación del sistema de conductos radiculares. Presentación del caso: paciente de sexo femenino, 67 años de edad, sin alteraciones sistémicas; buscó atención odontológica por presentar dolor dental y acúmulo de alimentos en la región de molares inferiores del lado izquierdo. Al examen clínico se observó caries extensa en el segundo molar inferior izquierdo con compromiso de furca, ausencia de aumento de volumen vestibular, sin fistula; en la radiografía periapical se evidenció lesión cariosa extensa recidivante en el segundo molar inferior izquierdo, y primer molar inferior izquierdo con tratamiento endodóntico y presencia de área radiolúcida de contornos bien definidos en la región periapical compatible con quiste periapical. El tratamiento estuvo a cargo de un equipo multidisciplinario por lo que se decidió realizar exodoncia del segundo molar inferior izquierdo y cirugía paraendodóntica con enucleación quirúrgica simultánea a la obturación del sistema de conductos radiculares primer molar inferior izquierdo; el examen histopatológico de la muestra extraída comprobó tratarse de un quiste periapical. Se realizó seguimiento radiográfico dos años después y mostró un completo reparo óseo del área afectada. Conclusiones: se concluye que el tratamiento descrito constituye una alternativa válida para la resolución de casos donde la endodoncia convencional es limitada para mantener la función y estética de una pieza dentaria(AU)

Introduction: periapical cysts are the most common odontogenic cysts. Their origin is related to pulp necrosis and the consequent stimulation of epithelial rests of the periodontal ligament (Malassez). Objective: describe a clinical case of periapical cyst enucleation and simultaneous sealing of the root canal system. Case report: a female 67-year-old patient without any systemic alteration sought care for dental pain and accumulation of food in the area of the lower left molars. Clinical examination revealed extensive decay in the lower left second molar with furcation involvement and absence of vestibular volume increase without a fistula. Periapical radiography showed an extensive recurrent carious lesion in the lower left second molar and lower left first molar with endodontic treatment and presence of a radiolucent area of a sharp outline in the periapical region compatible with periapical cyst. Treatment was conducted by a multidisciplinary team, who decided to perform extraction of the lower left second molar and paraendodontic surgery with surgical enucleation and simultaneous sealing of the root canal system in the lower left first molar. Histopathological examination of the specimen removed revealed it was a periapical cyst. Radiographic follow-up conducted two years later showed complete bone repair in the affected area. Conclusions: it is concluded that the treatment described is a valid alternative for the resolution of cases in which conventional endodontics is insufficient to preserve the function and aesthetic appearance of a tooth(AU)

Tomografia computadorizada de feixe cônico como instrumento complementar de diagnóstico e planejamento cirúrgico de cisto radicular: relato de um caso clínico / Cone beam computed tomography as complementary tool in diagnosis and surgical planning of radicular cyst: case report

O objetivo deste artigo foi destacar, por meio do relato de um caso clínico, a importância da utilização da tomografia computadorizada de feixe cônico (TCFC) como instrumento complementar de diagnóstico e planejamento cirúrgico de cisto radicular. Trata-se do cisto mais comum dos maxilares, originado de um granuloma, no ápice radicular de um dente necrosado. É assintomático, podendo sofrer processos de agudecimento, em que a dor e o edema encontram-se presentes. A cirurgia parendodôntica para enucleação da lesão é a escolha terapêutica quando não se obtém sucesso no tratamento endodôntico. Para um correto planejamento cirúrgico do caso, é importante a realização de exames complementares que permitam a visualização detalhada da região envolvida. A tomografia computadorizada de feixe cônico permite a visualização tridimensional das estruturas maxilofaciais, superando as limitações inerentes às radiografias periapicais. No caso clínico apresentado, uma paciente de 51 anos foi submetida à cirurgia para enucleação de lesão periapical radiolúcida, unilocular, localizada na região dos ápices radiculares dos dentes 31, 32 e 41. Para o planejamento cirúrgico, foi solicitada tomografia computadorizada de feixe cônico, que permitiu o detalhamento da lesão e dos ápices radiculares envolvidos. Após enucleação e apicoplastia, a lesão foi enviada para exame histopatológico, sendo a cavidade cirúrgica preenchida com enxerto bovino e membrana reabsorvível. O diagnóstico foi de cisto radicular. A paciente não apresentou recidiva em proservação após oito meses da cirurgia. Concluiu-se que a TCFC constitui um importante recurso complementar no diagnóstico e no planejamento cirúrgico de cisto radicular.

The aim of this study was to highlight, through a clinical case, the importance of using cone beam computed tomography as a complementary tool in the diagnosis and surgical planning of radicular cyst. This is the most common cyst of the jaws, originated from a granuloma at the apex of a necrotic tooth. It's asymptomatic and may suffer from acute cases, where pain and swelling are present. The endodontic surgery for enucleation of the lesion is the therapy of choice when the conventional endodontic treatment isn't well succeeded. For a correct surgical planning is important to conduct complementary exams to allow detailed visualization of the region involved. The cone beam computed tomography allows three-dimensional view of structures, overcoming the inherent limitations of periapical radiographs. In the case presented, a 51 years old patient was submitted to a surgery for enucleation of a periapical lesion, radiolucent and unilocular, related to the root apex of 31, 32 and 41 teeth. For surgical planning was requested cone beam computed tomography, which allowed to view the details of the lesion and the root apex. After enucleation and flattening of the apex, the lesion was sent to hystopathological exam and the surgical cavity was filled with graft and bovine collagen membrane. The diagnosis was radicular cyst. The patient is under proservation after eight months. It was concluded that CBCT is an important complementary tool in diagnosis and surgical planning of radicular cyst.

Anatomical variation of maxillary sinus mimicking a periapical cyst: a case report.

Maxillary sinus can pose diagnostic dilemma radiographically because of its anatomical variation which can mimic a periapical pathosis. This case report deals with one such diagnostic problem, where a maxillary sinus was interpreted in an intraoral periapical radiograph as a periapical cyst. With the advances in imaging techniques, the use of an Ultrasound imaging together with application of Colour Power Doppler helped in revealing the contents of the radiolucent area and come up with an accurate diagnosis. Thus a thorough knowledge about the normal anatomy and its variations and proper diagnostic aids are essential in the diagnosis of periapical pathology.
