Abstract

SCOTTI, Kevin; POUSA, María Susana  and  ABREU, Orlando. Actinomicosis Periapical Radicular: Reporte de un caso y revisiόn de la bibliografía. Acta odontol. venez [online]. 2006, vol.44, n.3, pp.380-382. ISSN 0001-6365.

In a radiographic study, an ovoid, unique radiolucid image, located at the apex of 3.5 was observed in a 75 years old female patient. A histophatological study of the lesion was performed and a periapical cyst and basophils formations of actinomyces were diagnosed. Currently, the number of reports of periapical actinomycosis and the isolation of actinomyces remains in controversy. This case was reported in the year 2003 at the “Universidad Santa María”, Caracas, Venezuela. In this paper, we analyzed the possible reasons of the lack of information related with periapical actinomycosis and the cause of such low reporting of the actinomyces presence in dentoalveolar lesions.
