- Inflammatory processes
Context:
- Periapical lesions represent a significant clinical challenge in endodontics.
- Understanding the pathogenesis is crucial for differentiating lesion types.
Purpose:
- To review the current literature on the pathogenesis of periapical lesions.
- To delineate the distinct characteristics of acute versus chronic periapical lesions.
Summary:
- The review synthesizes bibliographical data concerning the development and progression of periapical lesions.
- Key distinctions between thepathogenesis of acute and chronic periapical lesions are highlighted, focusing on inflammatory mediators and tissue responses.
Impact:
