Q

How long after endo therpay shld you see healing

A

6-12 mo

A clinician can expect bone to be redeposited in the apical area after RCT- when the lesion is healed, osteoblasts form a collagen matrix. Calcification of the collagen matrix typically occurs within 6-12 mo

Q

The rule of thumb for post preparation is

A

that you prepare the canals so that ½ of the root has gutta percha remaining (or about 5 mm+)

Posts typically weaken the tooth because the removal of dentin causes stress and further thins the walls of the root, predisposing the root to fracture.

Q

A

Creation of a High pH conducive to bone growth

80
Q

Periapical cemental dysplasia in its early stages is best differentiated clinically from an apical abscess by

A

pulp testing

A vital pulp designation suggests that the radiolucency is most likely due to other causes.

During the first phase of periapical cemental dysplasia or the osteolithic phase, there is usually bone loss seen predominantly along the apices of the mandibular central incisors. This radiolucency is usually mistaken as an apical abscess.

The presence of an intact lamina dura along the apical portion of the involved tooth also shows that the radiolucency did not come from an infected tooth.
