Abstract

The purpose of this study was to see the occurrence of the epithelial ingrowth in the periapical lesion and its relevance with the clinical symptoms. The subjects of this study included 129 specimens which were obtained from the apical surgery during the year of 2001-2002. The patterns of epithelial ingrowth were classified as either as either lining or networking. The clinical records were reviewed and the relevance between the clinical symptoms and the pattern of the epithelial ingrowth were evaluated under the light microscope.(중략)
