ABSTRACT
Palatal radicular groove is a developmental malformation of maxillary incisors, lateral incisors in particular, which often causes periodontal destruction. This paper reports a case of combined periodontal-endodontic lesions induced by palatal radicular groove, which was initially misdiagnosed as a simple periapical cyst. After root canal therapy and periapical cyst curettage, the course of disease was prolonged, resulting in the absence of buccal and maxillary bone plates in the affected tooth area. After the etiology was determined, the affected tooth was extracted and guide bone tissue regeneration was performed at the same time, followed by implantation and restoration at the later stage, leading to clinical cure. The palatal radicular groove is highly occult, and the clinical symptoms are not typical. If the abscess of the maxillary lateral incisor occurs repeatedly, and the abscess of the maxillary lateral incisor has not been cured after periodontal and root canal treatment, cone-beam computed tomographic and periodontal flap surgery should be considered.

Introduction: Periapical cysts, especially those of great extension, represent a challenge for endodontics, due to the ineffectiveness of traditional root canal treatment (RCT) in such cases. The aim of this case report was to evaluate the effectivity of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy "aPDT" when associated with calcium hydroxide Ca(OH)2 in treating such cysts. Case report: A 40-years-old female patient complained of bulging in the upper anterior region of the mouth. The clinical examination showed an extensive swollen periodontal area, painful with digital palpation, with a negative response to thermal tests on teeth 11 and 21. After traditional RCT, the canals of teeth 11 and 21 were filled with photosensitizer methylene blue 0.005% for 5 min pre irradiation time (PIT) and irradiated by low power diode laser with visible red wavelength (660 nm) during 2 minutes without intervals, using an optical fiber delivering system with a helical movement from apical to cervical. Then the canals were filled with Ca(OH)2 paste for 45 days and had been changed each 15 days, and repeating the radiation. Results: After 45 days, the patient already had a bulging remission, with painless resistance to the apical pressure over the region and signs of bone repair confirmed with the radiographic examination, and total absence of signs or symptoms. Conclusion: the association of aPDT with Ca(OH)2 paste is effective in treating of periapical lesions of great extension and avoids surgical treatment. (AU)
Introdução: os cistos periapicais, especialmente os de grande extensão, representam um desafio para a endodontista, uma vez que não são reparados com o tratamento endodôntico tradicional. O objetivo deste relato de caso foi avaliar a efetividade da terapia fotodinâmica antimicrobiana "aPDT" quando associada ao hidróxido de cálcio Ca(OH)2 no tratamento desses cistos. Relato de caso: paciente do sexo feminino, 40 anos, com queixa de abaulamento na região ântero-superior da boca. O exame clínico evidenciou extensa área periodontal inchada, dolorosa com palpação digital, com resposta negativa aos testes térmicos dos dentes 11 e 21. Após o tratamento endodôntico tradicional, os canais dos dentes 11 e 21 foram preenchidos com fotossensibilizador de azul de metileno a 0,005% de tempo de pré-radiação de 5 min e irradiados por laser de diodo de baixa potência com comprimento de onda vermelho visível (660 nm) por 2 min sem intervalos, usando um sistema de fornecimento de fibra ótica com um movimento helicoidal do apical ao cervical. Em seguida, o canal foi preenchido com pasta de Ca(OH)2 por 45 dias sendo trocados a cada 15 dias e repetida a radiação. Resultados: Após 45 dias, o paciente já apresentava uma remissão volumosa, com resistência indolor à pressão apical na região e sinais de reparo ósseo ao exame radiográfico e ausência total de sinais ou sintomas. Conclusão: a associação de aPDT com Ca(OH)2 é eficaz no tratamento de lesões periapicais de grande extensão e evitar tratamento cirúrgico (AU)

Objective@#To observe the expression of interleukin-33 (IL-33) in macrophages of chronic periapical periodontitis and apical cyst tissue, and to provide a basis for the study of the pathogenesis of IL-33 in periapical diseases.@*Methods @#The apical tissues of 20 normal control group, 15 chronic periapical periodontitis group and 15 apical cyst group were collected for HE staining and optical microscopy respectively. CD14 was used as the marker of macrophages and double immunofluorescence staining was used to observe the changes of periapical tissues under fluorescence microscopy. The expression of IL-33 in CD14-positive macrophages was observed.@*Results@#The macrophage density (cell/mm 2) of IL-33 and CD14 positive expression in normal control group, chronic periapical periodontitis group and root cyst group were（23.81 ± 5.16,62.97 ± 8.54,119.83 ± 14.61) respectively, and there were significant differences among the three groups（F=87.17,P < 0.01）. The density of IL-33 and CD14 positive macrophages in root cyst group was significantly higher than that in chronic periapical periodontitis group and control group（P < 0.01）.@*Conclusion@#IL-33 and CD14 positive macrophages increased in normal apical tissue, chronic periapical periodontitis tissue and apical cyst tissue in turn.
ABSTRACT
Regenerative medicine is an emerging field of biotechnology that combines various aspects of medicine, cell and molecular biology, materials science and bioengineering in order to regenerate, repair or replace tissues. The oral surgery and maxillofacial surgery have a role in the treatment of traumatic or degenerative diseases that lead to a tissue loss: frequently, to rehabilitate these minuses, you should use techniques that have been improved over time. Since 1990, we started with the use of growth factors and platelet concentrates in oral and maxillofacial surgery; in the following period we start to use biomaterials, as well as several type of scaffolds and autologous tissues. The frontier of regenerative medicine nowadays is represented by the mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs): overcoming the ethical problems thanks to the use of mesenchymal stem cells from adult patient, and with the increasingly sophisticated technology to support their manipulation, MSCs are undoubtedly the future of medicine regenerative and they are showing perspectives unimaginable just a few years ago. Most recent studies are aimed to tissues regeneration using MSCs taken from sites that are even more accessible and rich in stem cells: the oral cavity turned out to be an important source of MSCs with the advantage to be easily accessible to the surgeon, thus avoiding to increase the morbidity of the patient. The future is the regeneration of whole organs or biological systems consisting of many different tissues, starting from an initial stem cell line, perhaps using innovative scaffolds together with the nano-engineering of biological tissues.

Amelogenesis Imperfecta is a hereditary anomaly that affects the enamel of human teeth and is not associated with any systemic disorder of affected patients. The affected teeth are disturbed in coloration, thickness and resistance. The rehabilitation of amelogenesis imperfecta in a child must take into account the development of the child's teeth, the health of the periodontal tissues and the maxillary and mandibular growth. This article reports the endodontic and occlusal rehabilitation of a 14-year-old girl affected with autosomal recessive hypocalcified type of amelogenesis imperfecta with multiple periapical cysts.
