ABSTRACT
Histological pictures on the initial and further development of periapical inflammations show that they may develop after the formation of an abscess as well as primary solid granulation starting at the apex. It depends on the surrounding connective tissue interpreted as sclerosed edema whether in the case of an abscess, the abscess cavity will be organized or whether a cyst will be developing.

When extirpating the pulp, the canal tissue is amputated chemically or surgically and the space produced filled with non-irritating material. The resulting wound differs depending on the method applied. The difficulties in dressing are discussed, especially considering the so-called "dead space". After criticizing arsenic medication, the obtainable therapeutic success is discussed and the disadvantages and advantages of the two extirpation methods are compared.
