Radicular Cysts and Periapical Granulomas: Data Documentation for 696 Cases and Findings on Fibrosis, and <i>Porphyromonas gingivalis</i> and <i>Fusobacterium nucleatum</i> in These Lesions
Asymptomatic radiologically diagnosed periapical lesions may not necessarily need root canal retreatment in healthy patients since these lesions may represent scar tissue rather than active apical periodontitis. Clinical and radiological follow-up is still needed. Yet, periapical lesions, especially cysts, may contain dystopic periodontopathic pathogens, and Pg and Fn often occur together in periapical lesions.
