Relationship of radiologic and histologic signs of inflammation in human root-filled teeth.

Abstract:

:The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between histologic and radiologic signs of inflammation in human root-filled teeth. In addition, other factors with possible importance for apical inflammation were assessed. Fifty-three block sections of root-filled teeth were gathered from human cadavers. The blocks were radiographically exposed, sectioned, and stained with hematoxylin and eosin. Histologic sections were categorized as inflamed or uninflamed. Radiographically, the roots were assigned as apical lucency, widened periodontal ligament (PDL), or no lucency. Presence and contents of accessory canals were recorded (empty, tissue, or filling material). Statistical analysis was performed with the Chi-square test. All roots had accessory canals; 12 showed tissue remnants, and the others were empty. Of the cases, 49% were histologically uninflamed at the apex, and 52% appeared radiographically intact. The odds ratio of finding a histologically inflamed apex with radiologic lucency versus a radiographically intact apex was 9.2 (p = 0.002). The odds ratio of finding a histologically uninflamed apex with a radiologically tight coronal seal versus an unacceptable seal was 3.7 (p = 0.053). It may be concluded that there are relationships between radiologic and histologic signs of inflammation in human root canal-treated teeth. There appears to be a tendency that the radiologically determined quality of the coronal seal has an impact on the histologic state of the root-filled tooth. No relationship was detected between unfilled lateral or accessory canals and the status of inflammation at the periapex (51% inflamed, 49% uninflamed).
