Abstract
PURPOSE Dental origin constitutes most chronic unilateral maxillary sinusitis (CMS) and is referred to as dental chronic maxillary sinusitis (DCMS). Recently, dental implants and related surgical procedures have become more prevalent. We present an evaluation of the simultaneous treatment of DCMS. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective review of records from 395 patients with CMS treated at our medical center from 2015 to 2020 found 65 patients diagnosed with DCMS. Statistical analyses were performed using the records data. RESULTS Four patients were excluded. The final study population included 35 males and 26 females with a mean age of 55. 29 % were post-dental implant placement or related pre-prosthetic procedures. Presenting symptoms included middle meatus edema (72 %), pus in the middle meatus (70 %), and nasal secretion (39 %). Clinical findings included septal deviation (39 %), among them 87 % deviated toward the diseased sinus, OAF (49 %), and nasal polyposis (16 %). In 32 patients, the OAF was closed in one layer using a local mucoperiosteal flap. In 29 patients, the closure was done in two layers, including a buccal fat pad (BFP) regional flap. One patient had a reopened OAF, and five patients required revision surgery. 92 % of patients in this study had complete clinical and radiological resolution of the DCMS. CONCLUSIONS Relevance of nasal septal deviation in association with DCMS is present. There is no distinct difference in the manner of OAF closure if it is done in a simultaneous procedure. One stage combined multidisciplinary surgical procedure is sufficient to treat DCMS.

Abstract
Introduction Concentrated growth factor (CGF) is a new-generation autologous platelet concentrate that promotes tissue regeneration and has anti-inflammatory properties. This randomized multicenter trial aimed to evaluate the effects of CGF on bone healing in combination with root-end microsurgery. Methods Healthy adult patients indicated for root-end microsurgery were randomly assigned to either the CGF or control (no CGF implantation) groups. CGF was implanted into the bone cavity after root-end filling with mineral trioxide aggregate. Clinical and periapical radiographic evaluations were conducted at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively, with follow-up cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) at 6 months. The lesion volume reduction rate was calculated based on data from the preoperative and follow-up CBCT images. Results A total of 24 patients were enrolled. The treatment success rate was 91.7% and 83.3% on 12-month periapical radiography and 6-month CBCT, respectively, without a significant difference between the two groups. The lesion volume reduction rate in the CGF group (75.6%) was significantly higher than that in the control (61.0%) group. Conclusions Autologous CGF in conjunction with root-end microsurgery accelerated lesion reduction as observed on CBCT. Administering autologous blood products to stimulate healing in addition to removing the source of infection appears to be a promising treatment option for root-end microsurgery.

Abstract
Background Dental pain due to pulpal involvement is difficult to diagnose due to the apparent inaccessibility of pulp to the clinical tests, indistinct symptoms, and referred toothache originating from the periodontal tissues. Though we have various clinical classification systems to categorize pulpal diseases, we are yet biased about the exact pathophysiology and pain pathway associated with it. Dental pulp has a complex physiology, and so is its pathophysiology. Aims & objectives To concisely reviews the basic understanding of the pathophysiology of pulp, pain pathway, and its correlation with the classification of various clinical conditions of pulpal inflammation and periapical diseases. Methodology Literature search on pulpal diseases and pathophysiology from the sources: MEDLINE, PubMed, Web of Science and Cochrane Databases dated from 1965 till December 2020 was carried on to collect 163 articles. Results Filtered search on the pathophysiology of pulp, pain pathway, and classification of various clinical conditions of pulpal inflammation resulted us to precise 36 articles required for our understanding and demystifying the correlation. Conclusion The emphasis should be laid on understanding the minute changes occurring inside the pulp in due course of inflammation to aid its diagnosis and a treatment plan accordingly.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Odontogenic cysts belong to a type of lesions with endodontic origin that in some cases mimic even aggressive odontogenic tumors sharing with them similar radiographic features. Periapical cysts (PCs) belong to the inflammatory odontogenic cysts sub-category and rarely squamous cell carcinoma arises from their hyperplastic/ dysplastic epithelia. This study aimed to explore the impact of cluster differentiation 34 (CD34) protein expression combined with micro vessel density (MVD) on PCs. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-eight (n=48) archival, formalin-fixed, and paraffin-embedded PC tissue specimens were included in the study. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was performed in the corresponding tissue sections using an anti- CD34 antibody. CD34 expression levels and also MVD in the examined cases were measured by implementing a digital image analysis protocol. RESULTS CD34 over-expression (moderate to high staining intensity levels) were detected in 29/48 (60.4%) cases, whereas the rest of them (19/48-39.6%) were characterized by low levels of expression. Extended MVD was identified in 26/48 (50.1%) cases correlated with CD34 over-expression, epithelial hyperplasia (p-value=0.001), and marginally with inflammatory infiltration level in the examined lesions (p-value=0.056). CONCLUSION CD34 over-expression combined with increased MVD is associated with a neoplastic-like (hyperplastic) phenotype in PCs as a result of increased neo-angiogenic activity. These histopathological characteristics rarely form an eligible substrate for squamous cell carcinoma onset in untended cases.

Abstract
This paper studies the problem of detection of dental diseases. Dental problems affect the vast majority of the world's population. Caries, RCT (Root Canal Treatment), Abscess, Bone Loss, and missing teeth are some of the most common dental conditions that affect people of all ages all over the world. Delayed or incorrect diagnosis may result in mistreatment, affecting not only an individual's oral health but also his or her overall health, thereby making it an important research area in medicine and engineering. We propose a pipelined Deep Neural Network (DNN) approach to detect healthy and non-healthy periapical dental X-ray images. Even a minor enhancement or improvement in existing techniques can go a long way in providing significant health benefits in the medical field. This paper has made a successful attempt to contribute a different type of pipelined approach using AlexNet in this regard. The approach is trained on a large dataset of 16,000 dental X-ray images, correctly identifying healthy and non-healthy X-ray images. We use an optimized Convolutional Neural Networks and three state-of-the-art DNN models, namely Res-Net-18, ResNet-34, and AlexNet for disease classification. In our study, the AlexNet model outperforms the other models with an accuracy of 0.852. The precision, recall and F1 scores of AlexNet also surpass the other models with a score of 0.850 across all metrics. The area under ROC curve also signifies that both the false-positive rate and false-negative rate are low. We conclude that even with a big data set and raw X-ray pictures, the AlexNet model generalizes effectively to previously unseen data and can aid in the diagnosis of a variety of dental diseases.

Abstract
Periapical cemental dysplasia (PCD) is considered a non-neoplastic proliferation of fibrous tissues and cementum-like hard tissues, usually occurring in the periapical regions of teeth. PCD is characterized by the presence of vital pulp and is often accidentally discovered during a general radiographic survey. PCD may arise from the tissue of odontogenic origin or occur as a reactive process in the periapical tissue. Multilocular occurrences in both jaws are rare. However, we encountered a case of multiple PCDs by orthopantomography, which showed different degrees of maturation in the mandible and maxilla by osteodensitometric detection via cone-beam computed tomography (CB-CT) validated by Tc-99m bone-scintigraphy (BS). Biopsies confirmed the radiological results. CB-CT osteodensitometry allows for the categorization and assessment of different stages of PCD maturation from beginning to florid, detection of remittent osseous changes, and evaluation in the clinical follow-up. When using the local cortical bone as a reference value of 100%, periapical dysplasias show density values of 75% in the mandible and 80% in the maxilla. Early classification of PCD is possible with CB-CT osteodensitometry.

Abstract
Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the detection rate of apical radiolucencies in 2-dimensional images using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) as the reference standard, and to determine which factors related to the apical radiolucencies and the teeth could influence its detection. Materials and Methods The sample consisted of exams of patients who had panoramic (PAN) and/or periapical (PERI) radiography and CBCT. The exams were assessed by 2 oral radiologists and divided into PAN+CBCT (227 teeth–285 roots) and PERI+CBCT (94 teeth–115 roots). Radiographic images were evaluated for the presence of apical radiolucency, while CBCT images were assessed for presence, size, location, and involvement of the cortical bone (thinning, expansion, and destruction). Diagnostic values were obtained for PERI and PAN. Results PERI and PAN presented high accuracy (0.83 and 0.77, respectively) and specificity (0.89 and 0.91, respectively), but low sensitivity, especially for PAN (0.40 vs. 0.65 of PERI). The size of the apical radiolucency was positively correlated with its detection in PERI and PAN (p < 0.001). For PAN, apical radiolucencies were 3.93 times more frequently detected when related to single-rooted teeth (p = 0.038). The other factors did not influence apical radiolucency detection (p > 0.05). Conclusions PERI presents slightly better accuracy than PAN for the detection of apical radiolucency. The size is the only factor related to radiolucency that influences its detection, for both radiographic exams. For PAN, apical radiolucency is most often detected in single-rooted teeth.

Abstract
Even though teeth are often included in the field of view for a variety of medical CT studies, dental pathology is often missed by radiologists. Given the myriad morbidity and occasional mortality associated with sequelae of dental pathology, an important goal is to decrease these false negatives. However, given the ever-increasing volume of cases studies that radiologists have to read and the number of structures and diseases they have to evaluate, it is important not to place undue time restraints on the radiologist to this end. We hypothesized that generating panoramic dental radiographs from non-dental CT scans can permit identification of key diseases, while not adding much time to interpretation. The key advantage of panoramic dental radiographs is that they display the plane of the teeth in two dimensions, thereby facilitating fast and accurate assessment. We found that interpreting panoramic radiographic reconstructions compared to the full CT volumes reduced time-to-diagnosis of key dental pathology on average by roughly a factor of four. This expedition was statistically significant, and the average time-to-diagnosis for panoramic reconstructions was on the order of seconds, without a loss in accuracy compared to full CT. As such, we posit that panoramic reconstruction can serve as a one-slice additional series in any CT image stack that includes the teeth in its field of view.

Abstract
We report the surgical endodontic treatment of a maxillary first premolar with a lateral lesion that originated from an accessory canal. Although lesions originating from accessory canals frequently heal with simple conventional endodontic therapy, some lesions may need additional and different treatment. In the present case, conventional root canal retreatment led to incomplete healing with the need for further treatment (i.e., surgery). Surgical endodontic management with a fast-setting calcium silicate cement was performed on the accessory canal using a dental operating microscope. At the patient's 9-month recall visit, the lesion was resolved upon radiography.

Abstract
Periodontal examination involves evaluation of soft and hard tissue parameters to gauge gingival inflammatory changes and quantify attachment loss. Conventional radiographs are vital components of this process and can be used to assess the presence of calculus and other local factors to establish a diagnosis, prognosis, and periodontal treatment plan. The 2-dimensional nature of these images limits their utility. The advent of high-resolution cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) offers 3-dimensional images that might overcome these limitations. We discuss the use of conventional radiographic techniques as well as CBCT for evaluating, diagnosing, and treatment planning patients presenting for periodontal and/or implant therapy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), the most commonly used irrigant, has many potential properties like its unique ability to dissolve pulp tissue, excellent antimicrobial activity, but has a cytotoxic effect when injected into periapical tissues. It is also known to produce allergic reactions, foul smell and taste, and potential for corrosion. Facultative organisms such as Enterococcus faecalis and aerobes like Staphylococcus aureus are considered to be the most resistant species and one of the possible causes of root canal treatment failure. So there is a need to find an alternative to sodium hypochlorite to act against these resistant microorganisms. AIM To evaluate and compare the antibacterial efficacy of morinda citrifolia and turmeric extract with 3% NaOCl as a root canal irrigant, against E. faecalis and S.aureus. MATERIALS AND METHODS The antimicrobial efficacy was assessed in vitro using agar well diffusion method. Agar plates were prepared using Brain-Heart Infusion (BHI) agar. Cultures of E.faecalis and S.aureus were grown in nutrient broth at 37°C. Plates were incubated for 24 hours at 37°C and microbial zones of inhibition were recorded. Statistical analysis was performed using ANOVA. RESULTS NaOCl (3%) showed larger zones of inhibition than herbal irrigants against both the microorganisms. Among the herbal irrigants, morinda citrifolia showed larger zones of inhibition than turmeric hydro-alcoholic extract and turmeric water extract which was statistically significant (p<0.05). CONCLUSION NaOCl (3%) showed maximum antibacterial activity against E. faecalis, followed by morinda citrifolia and turmeric extracts. Considering the potential for undesirable properties of NaOCl, use of herbal alternatives in endodontics might prove to be advantageous.

Abstract
Bone dysplasias comprise of a condition where the normal bone is replaced with fibrous tissue. Periapical Cemento-Osseous Dysplasia (PCOD) is a benign fibro-osseous condition where bone tissue is supplanted with fibrous tissue and cementum-like material. This condition affects mostly mandibular anterior region and rarely occurs in the maxilla. PCOD is seen above 30 years of age and has slight female predilection. Generally the teeth related to such lesions appear to be vital and are usually asymptomatic. These lesions are mostly seen during routine radiographic examination whose presentation may vary from complete radiolucency to dense radiopacity. The advent of Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) has brought a massive change in the field of dentistry which has become an important tool for diagnosis. Hence we hereby present an unusual case of cemento-osseous dysplasia in an unfamiliar location with an atypical presentation. The shape of the pathology was completely idiosyncratic and different from an orthodox lesion of COD, as the lesion was observed to grow out of the palatal surface with a prominent palatal expansion. This case highlights the importance of CBCT in radiographic diagnosis and in evaluating the characteristics of such lesion, which present with high diagnostic dilemma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Periapical lesions (PLs) occur as a result of pulpal inflammation and may rarely be seen in the absence of pulpal diseases. They are the most common pathological lesions affecting the alveolar bone. OBJECTIVE This study aims to describe the clinicopathological features of PLs of the jaws with emphasis on the two most common types. METHODS Histopathology records of PLs diagnosed from January 1990 to December 2012 at the Department of Oral Pathology, University College Hospital Ibadan, were examined and categorized into periapical cysts (PCs); periapical granuloma (PGs) and others. Clinical data and histopathological features of these PLs were reviewed and analyzed. RESULTS One hundred and four lesions met the criteria for this study and consisted of PGs with 71 (68.3%) cases and PCs with 31 (29.8%) cases and one case each of apical scar and pleomorphic adenoma. Age range of cases was 9 to 80 years (mean=35.6 ± 15.8years) with a peak at age group of 20-29 years. Females were more frequently affected with 51.9% of cases. PLs were most frequently diagnosed in the anterior maxillary region with 58 (56.9%) cases, while the most frequently involved tooth was the left maxillary central incisor with 23 (22.1%) cases. CONCLUSION Findings in this study are consistent with those of previous studies. It is important for all periapical pathological specimens to be submitted for histological examination to establish an accurate diagnosis and aid in the identification of sinister lesions that may present in the Periradicular region of teeth.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE Panoramic and periapical radiographs are normally used in impacted third molar teeth surgeries. The aim of the present study was to evaluate and compare the distortion of the erupted third molar teeth on panoramic and periapical radiographs. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 44 radiographs were obtained of 22 patients (age range, 18-24 years) referred to the faculty of dentistry for orthodontic treatment. A plaster cast was prepared and panoramic radiography was taken for all patients to plan the orthodontic treatment and periapical radiography was taken for investigation of tooth structure details. Therefore, a total of 66 views and samples were studied by two methods: 1) Measuring the angle between the longitudinal plane of the third molar and occlusal plane. 2) Measuring the angle between the longitudinal plane of second and third molar. Finally, 132 records were evaluated by one individual. RESULTS There was no significant statistical difference between the mean position of the third molar on panoramic, periapical radiographs and the casts. However, measurements of the third molars on periapical radiographs were slightly closer to the measurements of the casts compared to the panoramic radiographs. CONCLUSION Distortion does not have a specific effect on the diagnosis of the position of the third erupted molars by periapical or panoramic radiographs, though various studies have shown that these radiographs have an amount of distortion and periapical radiographical distortion is less than that in panoramic radiography.
