“…The prevalence of AP in the total diabetic samples was 87.1% in males and 75% in females of old age. This finding agrees with Marotta et al10 Regardless of the small number of evaluated subjects with diabetes in this study, the results were comparable with previous reports 8,9,11. Rudranaik et al28 reported that healing of periapical lesions will be delayed in the infected teeth of subjects with uncontrolled diabetes, despite root canal treatment.…”

“…Smoking is known to be significantly associated with the frequency of endodontic treatment and with an increased prevalence of AP 11,30. Nicotine decreases bone healing due to a reduction in the amount of oxygen reaching the area as a result of decreased blood flow, as well as stimulation of osteoclast cells 31.…”

“…The prevalence of AP associated with root-filled teeth is relatively high 4-7. Several risk factors related to AP have been reported, including poorly controlled diabetes and smoking 8-11. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder of insufficient insulin secretion that causes serious and debilitating complications.…”

Objectives:To determine the health status of periradicular tissue and the quality of root canal fillings in an adult Saudi population attending dental clinics for the first time.Methods:This cross sectional study was conducted in the dental clinics at King Saud University, Riyadh and other dental centers (Jeddah, Najran, and Albaha City), Kingdom of Saudi Arabia between year 2010 and 2012. Good-quality panoramic radiographs of 926 Saudi subjects (540 males and 386 females)were analyzed based on the gender, age, health status, smoking habits, periapical status of the endodontically treated teeth, technical quality of the root canal fillings, and the presence or absence of coronal restoration. Data were calibrated and statistical analyses were performed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA) version 17.Results:Of the 25,028 teeth examined, 1,556 teeth (6.2%) had apical periodontitis (AP). Male subjects aged over 55 years and females between 36 and 45 years had higher AP. A total of 36 diabetic and 87 smokers subjects had AP. The AP was more common in male diabetics than female (p=0.383), and in female smokers more than male (p=0.44). Only 42.2% of male and 57.7% of female teeth had adequate root canal treatment.Conclusions:Apical periodontitis was significantly related to diabetes, smoking, and inadequate endodontic treatment.

“…AP is a remarkably prevalent problem [4,5]. The importance of AP is not only due to its impact on the oral cavity, but also to its possible association with different systemic diseases, conditions or habits such as diabetes mellitus [6,7], smoking [8,9], coronary heart disease [10][11][12][13], hypertension [14] and others [15,16].…”

Viruses in pulp and periapical inflammation: a review

The presence of viruses in endodontic disease has been studied in the last decade. Their presence is associated with periapical radiolucency and with clinical findings, such as pain. The aim of this review is to analyze the scientific evidence currently published about viruses in pulp and periapical inflammation, and its possible clinical implications. A literature review was carried out using the Medline/Pubmed database. The search was performed, in English and Spanish, using the following keyword combinations: virus AND endodontic; virus AND periapical; virus AND pulpitis; herpesvirus AND periapical; papillomavirus AND periapical. We subsequently selected the most relevant studies, which complied with the search criterion. A total of 21 articles were included, of which 18 detected the present of viruses in the samples. In 3 of the studies, viral presence was not found in the samples studied. The Epstein-Barr virus was found in about 41 % of cases compared to controls, in which it was present in about 2 %. The main association between viruses and endodontic pathosis is between Cytomegalovirus and Epstein-Barr virus; these are found in 114 of the 406 samples of different endodontic pathosis. Some evidence supports that the Epstein-Barr virus is present in a significant number of endodontic diseases, without exact knowledge of their action in these diseases.

“…Furthermore, the effect of cigarette smoking on apical periodontitis and endodontic outcomes has been reported in the endodontic literature (13)(14)(15)(16). In contrast, there remains no published research on the effects of cannabinoids and cannabis on endodontic treatment, apical periodontitis, and/or endodontic outcomes.…”
