Periapical

Periapical

Periapical is a term that is used to refer to the area located around the apex of a tooth root.

The periapical bone is the bone surrounding the tip of the tooth root. It is part of the jaw bone (upper or lower).

On x-rays, the periapical bone is visible as a thin strip surrounding the tip of the tooth root. Assessing the condition of the periapical bone is important for diagnosing dental pulp diseases and periodontitis.

With inflammation of the dental pulp and periodontitis, changes occur in the periapical bone - it becomes rarefied, and osteoporotic cavities appear in it. These changes are clearly visible on the x-ray.

Thus, analysis of the condition of the periapical bone is necessary for the timely diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the pulp and periapical tissues of the tooth.

Periapical or periapical (lat. periapical) - located near the apex of the tooth (usually around the apex of the root).

The peri-apical areas of the tooth are a bone formation that surrounds the apex of the tooth root. They are important for maintaining dental health and preventing the development of diseases.

On an x-ray, the periapical tissues appear as dark areas around the tips of the roots of the teeth. These areas may be visible on both the upper and lower jaw.

The periapical space can be filled with various tissues such as gums, bone and other materials. It plays an important role in maintaining dental health as it provides protection to the root tips and prevents damage.

In addition, the periapical space is also the site for the formation and development of new teeth. As the tooth grows, it passes through this space and becomes part of the jawbone.

Thus, the periapical region of the tooth plays an important role in the health of teeth and maintaining their normal function. It is important to monitor its condition and contact your dentist if any symptoms associated with this space appear.

The periapical region of the tooth, located around the apex (often called the apical region) is the area in the body of the crown of the tooth where the tooth connects to its roots.[1]

Periapical – dental tissues are referred to as pulp cycles and contain nerves, vessels, lymphatic vessels and lymphatic tissue. They are located at the top of dental crowns and give the tooth a ridge shape.[2][3]

The root of the tooth - located below the apical region - is the root of the tooth. A dental root is a root located inside the body of a tooth. This is a cylinder of dentin with a diameter of 0.7-1.0 mm and a length of about 0.5 cm (in primary teeth), leading down to the dental crown or tooth root. There are channels on the inside of the cylinder. The root canal contains the blood vessels and nerves of the tooth and is open at the top of the tooth. [4]

The most typical periapical region is the apical contour region. The apical junction is between the base of the crown and the isthmus at the neck, forming a cone or apex. Its contents usually permeate the structures
