Periapical lesions of non-endodontic origin: a integrative review

periapical diseases, differential diagnosis, periapical tissues, endodonticsAbstract
The aim of this study was to list the main periapical lesions that do not originate from pulpal necrosis. An integrative literature review was carried out, with a search in the Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS), Medical Literature Analysis and Retrievel System Online (MEDLINE) and Bibliografia Brasileira de Odontologia (BBO) databases. The keywords used were “periapical diseases” and “differential diagnosis”, combined with the boolean operator “AND”. 42 articles were found that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The analysis of the included studies showed that the main periapical lesions of non-endodontic origin are the odontogenic keratocyst and the ameloblastoma. Although the prevalence of non-endodontic periapical lesions is low, it is important to be aware of possible differential diagnoses, since the lesions that most appeared in the literature are locally aggressive and potentially mutilating pathologies. In addition, the conduct of the professional who is faced with any type of periapical lesion that presents behavior outside the normal range should be to perform a biopsy and histopathological analysis.
Keywords: Periapical Diseases, Diagnosis differential, Endodontics, Periapical tissues
