The presence of high heterotrophic bacterial counts, sloughing biofilm, and high LPS levels are discussed in relation to patient risk and periodontal wound healing biology.
Cholesterol granuloma is an inflammatory reaction to cholesterol crystals deposition which may develop in a variety of sites including the middle ear, mastoid process or even paranasal sinuses. A dentigerous cyst is the one that encloses the crown of unerupted tooth by expansion of its follicle & is attached to the neck of the tooth. Histopathological examination usually shows a thin fibrous cyst wall which, being derived from dental follicle, consists of young fibroblast widely separated by stroma and ground substance rich in mucopolysaccharide. cholesterol crystals which presents as longitudinal clefts in histologic sections, are frequent feature in the inflammatory lesions like radicular cyst but are very rare in dentigerous cyst. This case study presents an unusual case of cholesterol granuloma occurring in dentigerous cyst wall.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
