Resumo

Introdução: A formação do Cisto Radicular (CR) está associada à proliferação dos restos epiteliais de Malassez por estímulos inflamatórios, provenientes da proliferação bacteriana do canal radicular de um dente não vital. Quando o dente é removido, esse cisto passa a ser denominado Cisto Residual (CRe). O tratamento de escolha para o CR é endodôntico, com o objetivo de eliminar a inflamação presente no periápice. No entanto, em alguns casos, o cisto pode continuar a crescer, necessitando de tratamento cirúrgico, o que ocorre na maioria dos casos de CRe. Objetivo: Avaliar o metabolismo do epitélio de revestimento de CR e CRe, utilizando a quantificação das AgNORs, e verificar a influência da presença de inflamação sobre o crescimento desses cistos. Material e método: Vinte casos de CR e dez de CRe foram submetidos à técnica de AgNOR. A análise quantitativa das NORs foi realizada utilizando-se o software ‘Contando células’. O teste estatístico pós-hock de Newman-keuls foi realizado para a comparação do número médio de AgNORs entre CR e CRe, e entre áreas inflamadas e não inflamadas. Resultado: Diferença estatisticamente significante (p=0,0094) foi observada entre áreas inflamadas (1,86±0,26) e não inflamadas (1,65±0,20). Na comparação entre CR (1,81±0,28) e CRe (1,73±0,16), não houve diferença estatisticamente significante (p=0,37). Conclusão: A inflamação interfere no metabolismo epitelial de CR e CRe, o que reflete a ação de fatores de crescimento na proliferação do epitélio, contribuindo para o crescimento do cisto, independentemente da presença do fator etiológico associado com a origem da lesão.

Abstract

Introduction: Radicular Cyst (RC) development is associated with the activation and proliferation of epithelial rests of Malassez. This occurs due to inflammatory stimuli resulting from bacteria proliferation in the root canal of a non-vital tooth. When the tooth is removed, the cyst becomes known as Residual Cyst (ReC). The RC common treatment is the endodontic therapy, with the aim of eliminating the inflammation in the periapical region. Nonetheless, this treatment is not always effective and the cyst may continue to grow, what happens in most cases of ReC. Objective: To evaluate the metabolism of the RC and ReC epithelial lining through the technique of AgNOR quantification and of the influence of the presence of inflammation in the growth of these cysts. Material and method: 20 cases of RC and 10 of ReC, were processed by the AgNOR technique. The AgNOR quantitative analysis was performed using the "Counting cells" software. The statistical post-hock Newman-Keuls test was applied to compare the RC and ReC mean number of AgNORs in inflamed and non-inflamed areas. Result: Statistically significant difference (p=0.0094) was observed between inflamed (1.86±0.26) and non-inflamed (1.65±0.20) areas. No statistically significant difference (p=0.37) was observed in the comparison between RC (1.81±0.28) and ReC (1.73±0.16). Conclusion: Inflammation interferes in the epithelial metabolism of RC and ReC, reflectings the action of growth factors in epithelial proliferation and contributing to the growth of the cyst, regardless the presence of the etiologic factor associated with the injury origin.
