Influence of bony resorption on endodontic treatment

|February 1, 1983
Abstract:
A review of prognosis studies has examined success rates between samples of teeth, both with and without radiolucent lesions, treated conventionally. The presence of a lesion predisposes the endodontic case to a lower success rate. On the basis of experimental data on the use of calcium hydroxide, investigation of increasing success with placement of calcium hydroxide in the canals of teeth with periapical lesions for 3 to 10 months prior to conventional filling is proposed.

01:40Bone Remodeling
Bone remodeling is a continuous and balanced process of bone resorption by osteoclasts and bone formation by osteoblasts. In adults, it helps maintain bone mass and calcium homeostasis. While mechanical stress can stimulate turnover as part of the normal maintenance and reparative process, several hormones also regulate bone remodeling.
01:31Osteoclasts in Bone Remodeling
Osteoclasts are cells responsible for bone resorption and remodeling. They originate from hematopoietic progenitor cells present in the bone marrow. Numerous progenitor cells fuse to form multinucleated cells, each with 10-20 nuclei. A single osteoclast has a diameter of 150 to 200 µM. These cells have ruffled borders that break down the underlying bone tissue and release minerals such as calcium into the blood in bone resorption. Osteoclasts cling to bones with their ruffled edges during bone...
