Abstract
Periapical lesions are common sequelae of pulp diseases. This retrospective study evaluated the clinical and histopathological features of periapical lesions sent to a private pathology laboratory by dentists in private clinics. Methods: Two hundred and fifty-two consecutive cases of periapical lesions were collected from September 2005 to October 2009. Clinical data and histopathological features of these periapical lesions were reviewed and analyzed. Results: The 252 periapical lesions consisted of 128 periapical granulomas, 117 periapical cysts, and seven periapical scars. These 252 lesions were taken from 252 patients (92 men and 160 women; mean age = 43.6 years; range, 9–81 years). Of the 252 periapical lesions, 186 were found in the maxilla and 66 in the mandible. The most common site for periapical lesions was the maxillary anterior region (134 cases, including 73 granulomas, 54 cysts and 7 scars), and the most frequently involved tooth was the maxillary lateral incisor (64 cases, including 29 granulomas, 31 cysts and 4 scars). Of the 117 periapical cysts, 116 were lined by stratified squamous epithelium and one by mucoepidermoid epithelium. Hyaline bodies were discovered in the lining epithelium of four periapical cysts. Odontogenic epithelial rest, cholesterol cleft, foamy histiocytes, hemosiderin-laden macrophages, dystrophic calcification, foreign bodies, and bacterial clumps were found in five, three, nine, two, 28, 10 and one periapical granulomas, respectively, as well as in six, 11, eight, seven, 19, nine and eight periapical cysts, respectively. Conclusion: Granulomas and cysts were the two most common periapical lesions. Periapical lesions occurred more frequently in female patients and in those in their fourth to fifth decades. The most commonly affected site for periapical lesions was the maxillary anterior region, and the most frequently involved tooth was the maxillary lateral incisor.
