Tissue reactions following apical plugging of the root canal with infected dentin chips. A histologic study in dogs' teeth.

The object of the present work was to observe whether the condensation of a plug of infected dentin in the apical region, before the filling of a root canal, could show results similar to those found in the absence of contamination. The histologic analysis of the periapical tissues of dogs' teeth containing infected apical plugs showed results that were totally unfavorable, when compared to cases in which the plugs were absent. Such data do not encourage the use of dentin plugs for cases of contaminated root canals, at least until other experiments can better clarify the problem.

Apical hard-tissue deposition in adult teeth of monkeys with use of calcium hydroxide.

The periapical tissues of adult teeth of monkeys were examined histologically after root canal treatment with calcium hydroxide. Healing, as evidenced by complete apical closure with a hard tissue bridge and an inflammation-free periodontal ligament, occurred more frequently where canals were instrumented 1 mm short of the apex. Overinstrumented canals exhibited a significantly decreased incidence of apical closure.

Root canal treatment with calcium hydroxide. I. Effect of overfilling and refilling.

Root canals of dog premolar teeth were negotiated and overfilled with calcium hydroxide paste. After 30 days, half of the treated teeth were refilled up to the apical limit. Root canals not filled were considered as the control group. Ninety days after the first treatment, histologic analysis showed more favorable results in the refilled root canals. The overfilling elicits calcium hydroxide resorption and the ingrowth of periapical connective tissue into the root canal.

Permeability of the hard tissue bridge formed after pulpotomy with calcium hydroxide: a histologic study.

Analysis of these results shows that complete hard tissue bridges, aside from occurring with great frequency, produce a satisfactory protection to the pulp. In a case in which the barrier is incomplete, some future clinical problems may result as an incomplete barrier does not offer adequate protection as shown by the chronic inflammatory reaction in the remaining pulp tissue.
