“…According to a study, 12% of periapical lesions have non-endodontic origin, and the other 88% have odontogenic origin. 19 In another study, a total of 584 radiographs out of 1,000 were diagnosed with periapical pathology. No sex predilection was noted in the distribution of periapical pathology, and the majority of the patients (36.30%) belonged to the 25 to 36 years age group.…”

Introduction Dental caries and periodontal disease are the two globally leading oral infections. There is considerable variation in the prevalence of these diseases. Also, these may lead to various periapical pathoses like periapical abscess, cysts, and so on. These may be attributed to differences in age, gender, sample size, geographical distribution, and protocol followed for diagnosis. Objectives To estimate the prevalence of dental caries, gingivitis/periodontitis, and periapical pathoses in patients of all ages in a dental institute in central Gujarat. Materials and methods After obtaining approval from the Institutional Ethics Committee, a hospital-based cross-sectional study was carried out in a dental institute of central Gujarat. A total of 4,642 patients were screened, out of which 2,849 subjects were included in the present study. Intraoral examination was done under all aseptic conditions by using a diagnostic set of instruments by trained professionals and the status of the pathology recorded according to the standard procedure. Data were stored in an Excel spreadsheet for analysis. Results It was observed that dental caries/pulp pathoses were more prevalent in the younger age group with mean age 23.1 years. All the other pathoses were observed among the middle age group (above 35 years). Overall prevalence of dental caries/pulp pathoses, gingivitis/periodontitis, and periapical pathoses was observed in 54.8% of males as compared to 45.2% females. Conclusion The current study collected significant data for the prevalence of three different odontogenic oral lesions in the central Gujarat geographical location at a tertiary level. There is male preponderance in the prevalence of these diseases in general. There is a need to generate awareness about oral health and the prevention of dental caries and gingivitis/periodontitis and to institute measures for the provision of dental care services at the primary level.

“…Pre-existing periapical lesion of a size beyond 50 mm commonly followed by failure and the surgical treatment plan must involve the use of graft material. Also larger sized lesion related to endodonically treated teeth is less likely to heal because of the fibroblastic proliferation from the periostium into the osseous defect, leading to scar formation rather than bony fill (Razavi et al, 2015).…”

Aim: To assess the accuracy of ultra-low dose and standard dose CBCT protocols in volumetric measurements of simulated bone defects in comparison with the real physical measurements. Methodology:A number of 58 defects mimicking periapical lesions were prepared on the ribs of sheep. Actual physical volumetric measurements of the defects were obtained by water displacement method; samples were scanned by ultra-low dose and standard dose CBCT protocols( 90 KVP,8 MA &13 SEC and 90 KVP,5.6 MA& 9 SEC) respectively . Volumetric measurements were done in each scan by two calibrated oral radiologists, with different experience, who were blinded to the parameters of the scans and to the physical measurements. The values of the CBCT volumetric measurements were compared to the physical measurements and statistically analyzed. Results:The results of this study showed that ultra-low dose had smaller Dahlberge error, smaller Relative Dahlberge error,tighter limits of agreement and higher concordance correlation coefficient than standard dose which means better accuracy of the segmentation procedure using this protocol. A strong positive correlation was found between the two protocols and the physical measurement. Conclusion:Ultra-low dose CBCT is a suitable protocol in volumetric measurements. As both ultra-low dose protocol and standard dose protocol had a strong correlation with physical measurement, CBCT is a reliable tool in volumetric measurements.
