Abstract

Four Stump-tail monkeys (Macaca spiciosa) were used for this study to analyze, on a cellular level, the apical tissue of teeth overfilled versus teeth filled short 1-3 mm. of the radiographic apex with the Sargenti formula. In each animal four incisors were filled short and four incisors were overfilled. A final sample size consisted of 28 teeth. The time periods ranged from 48 hours to 120 days. After analysis of the histology it can be stated that the teeth filled short showed no inflammation to moderate inflammation in the periapical tissues. In teeth overfilled there was a range from moderate to severe inflammation in the periapical tissues. The most severely inflamed teeth were at 120 days. At that time the inflammation was composed of both acute and chronic cells. A severe foreign-body reaction was also present.
