Oral Pathology
Periapical granulomas were diagnosed as well-circumscribed periapical
radiolucency measuring less than 1.5 cm in diameter, periapical cysts were
characterized by well-defined periapical radiolucency with sclerotic borders
measuring greater than 1.5 cm, and periapical abscesses were characterized by
ill-defined periapical radiolucency with diffuse margins. While bone resorption can occur in the presence of a periapical granuloma, it
is not a prerequisite for its formation. A periapical granuloma can develop in
response to pulp necrosis or infection without necessarily requiring bone
resorption to occur first. The granuloma can form as a reaction to the
inflammatory process, regardless of the state of the surrounding bone.

Neurolept analgesia is a state of sedation and analgesia produced by the combined use of a neuroleptic agent and a narcotic analgesic. Neurolept anesthesia, on the other hand, includes the administration of nitrous oxide along with the neuroleptic agent and narcotic analgesic, which induces a deeper state of unconsciousness and is used for certain surgical procedures. The addition of nitrous oxide enhances the overall anesthetic effect.
