To be able to determine if endodontic treatment of apical pathosis is successful or not, healing of lesions is followed up by radiographic imaging. This can be done by observing changes in apical radiolucencies. Recently, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) has been introduced as a method of gaining an unabridged view of dental anatomy, thus eliminating some of the most prevalent problems, such as superimposition and distortion. CBCT reduces false diagnosis and is rapidly replacing other radiographic techniques in diagnosis, quality control of treatment methods and techniques, and outcome assessment. Healing assessment using conventional and newer three?dimensional imaging includes, but is not limited to, periapical osseous lesions, conditions of the maxillary sinus, status after endodo…

Dentistry has not escaped the exciting new therapeutic advances of regenerative medicine. The accumulating knowledge about dental stem cells, differentiation, and the signaling cascades of tooth development and morphogenesis has enabled the implementation of dental biomimetics. This domain offers novel approaches to oral restoration, such as whole tooth organ bioengineering and targeted regeneration of specific dental and periodontal tissues, including bone, as recently achieved in rodent models in several laboratories. These procedures have resulted in successful growth of a tooth and its periodontium with appropriate functional properties, including vascularisation, innervation and responses to biomechanical forces (1). However, the length of time required to perform tooth bioengineering…

A common test used to determine mercury exposure from dental amalgam fillings may significantly overestimate the amount of the toxic metal released from fillings, according to University of Michigan researchers. Scientists agree that dental amalgam fillings slowly release mercury vapor into the mouth…

Regeneration of periodontal structures is a complex challenge for periodontal wound healing. As by Wikesjö et?al. in this issue, wound space provision, primary stability, and healing by primary intention serve as critical factors for attempts to regenerate the periodontium. Barrier membranes for space maintenance can be cumbersome to use in a clinical setting and have proven to provide only partial success in regenerative therapies. Not surprisingly, investigators and clinicians have started to search for biological molecules and cell technologies that could help to either speed up or modify the healing process that depends on migration and differentiation of several different cell populations. In this chapter, we will briefly review the technologies that are currently in use or in clin…
