Experimentally induced alterations in periapical tissues of the cat.

Ten cats were immunized with subcutaneous injections of keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH). After it was determined that the experimental animals had developed circulating antibodies to KLH, challenge doses of KLH were administered via the root canal system. The radiographic and histologic findings suggest that antigen-antibody complex reactions can occur in periapical tissues of teeth, and that they can play a role in the pathogenesis of periapical lesions. In contrast, no radiographic and histologic changes were noted in non-immunized cats.

Demonstration of Bacteroides intermedius in periapical tissue using indirect immunofluorescence microscopy.

The presence of bacteria in periapical lesions of teeth with necrotic pulp has been demonstrated by microbiological sampling of periapical lesions during endodontic surgery. The purpose of this study was to confirm the presence of Bacteroides intermedius in a periapical granuloma using an indirect immunofluorescence technique. Histologic sections of a periapical granuloma were incubated with a rabbit antiserum to B. intermedius. After incubation with secondary antibody (fluorescein-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG), an intense fluorescent staining was observed in areas of the tissue sections. Control tissue sections that were incubated without the antibody remained unstained. The results obtained with the indirect immunofluorescence technique supported our cultural findings that microorganisms, e.g. B. intermedius, were present in the tissue of the periapical granuloma.

Radiographic evaluation of the effect of endotoxin (LPS) plus calcium hydroxide on apical and periapical tissues of dogs.

The aim of this study was the radiographic evaluation of the apical and periapical region of dog teeth submitted to intracanal bacterial endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide, LPS), associated or not with calcium hydroxide. After removal of the pulp, 60 premolars were divided into four groups and were filled with bacterial endotoxin (group 1), bacterial endotoxin plus calcium hydroxide (group 2), saline solution (group 3), or periapical lesions were induced with no treatment (group 4), for a period of 30 days. Similar periapical lesions were observed in groups 1 and 4. The lamina dura was intact in groups 2 and 3. Bacterial endotoxin (LPS) caused radiographically visible periapical lesions, but when associated with calcium hydroxide, this endotoxin was detoxified.
