Periapical inflammatory lesion is one of the most prevalent diseases in general dental practices. Many consequences are related to this disease including the appearance of bone defects. In this context, treatments able of stimulating bone tissue have been developed, including osteogenic biomaterials. This pilot case study aimed to evaluate the effects of Biosilicate® in the process of healing in bone defects due to periapical disease. A 53-year-old woman, with recurrent episodes of acute exacerbation of an inflammatory chronic process in the apex of the maxillary left lateral incisor (MLLI), presenting endodontic retreatment and intracanal pin, was studied. Biosilicate® was implanted in the area of the defect and the treatment was analyzed by radiographic examinations (immediate... view more»
