Issue Date: | 2019 | Publisher: | ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC | Source: | JOURNAL OF ENDODONTICS, 45(4), p. 459-470 | Abstract: | Despite the fact that external cervical resorption (ECR) is a well-known and rather frequently met condition, the driving force of this phenomenon still remains unclear. Recently, hypoxia has been linked to ECR. Thus, the aim of this work was to investigate the existence of hypoxia in ECR and hypothesize on its role at the time of extraction. This work is a case study of a tooth with ECR. ECR diagnosis was based on clinical and radiographic examination with cone-beam computed tomographic imaging. The extracted tooth was further analyzed by using nanofocus computed tomographic imaging and immunohistology. To investigate the 3-dimensional extent and pattern of ECR, in vivo cone-beam computed tomographic imaging and ex vivo nanofocus computed tomographic imaging were used. Different histologic stains were used to investigate the presence of a hypoxic environment and to gain a better insight into the involved cells, neuronal structures, and remodeling process during ECR. A higher distribution of hypoxia-inducible factor 1a-positive cells was found in the apical part of the resorption area when compared with the coronal area of the resorption. In addition, a similar distribution of hypoxia-inducible factor 1a-positive odontoblasts was observed in the pulp. Three-dimensional analysis of the calcification of the pulp revealed the formation of pulp stones in areas with higher hypoxia. Histology showed that remodeling during ECR can occur according to a layered pattern. This investigation confirms the presence of hypoxia in ECR and shows that there is a gradient of hypoxia within the ECR lesion and surrounding tooth structure. The hypoxic environment within the pulp is also indicated by the formation of pulp stones. | Notes: | [Mavridou, Athina Maria; Bergmans, Lars; Lambrechts, Paul] Katholieke Univ Leuven, BIOMAT Res Cluster, Dept Oral Hlth Sci, Leuven, Belgium.
