Abstract:
A histoenzymological study was carried out on 40 tissues specimens removed at biopsy and for surgical operations of the following lesions: 5 normal oral mucosa, 5 periapical granulomas, and 30 periapical inflammatory cysts. The purpose of this study was to study some possibly significant variations in levels o activities of oxidative enzymes, and hydrolaxes enzymes. In inflammatory cysts, enzymatic activities were similar to normal epithelium. There was high levels of acid phosphatase LDH and G6PDH activity in the central cells of apical granulomas and in the exfoliating epithelial cells of periapical inflammatory cysts. There were differency in the glycosaminoglicans activity on the different epitelial pattern.

Inflammatory Response
Inflammation can be triggered by various stimuli, such as impact, abrasion, chemical irritation, infections, and extreme hot or cold temperatures. These can damage cells and connective tissue fibers,...
Tooth Anatomy
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or grinding food.
