Some clinical conditions seem to be difficult to explain and/or understand, as it is the case of relapse of chronic periapical lesions. From a pathophysiological standpoint (causes as well as mechanism of action and immune system), a specific approach towards inflammatory periapi- cal lesions may not only broaden one’s understanding, but also deepen clinical approach towards such condition. The aforementioned objective comprised the aim of the present study.
