Resumo

Introdução: O Folículo Pericoronário envolve a coroa do germe dental durante seu desenvolvimento. Quando o dente permanece incluso, alterações do folículo podem originar doenças, como cistos e tumores odontogênicos. Objetivo: Analisar as alterações histológicas no tecido mole circundante a terceiros molares inclusos e semiinclusos, independentemente de alterações patológicas aparentes em suas radiografias correspondentes, além de relacionar o diagnóstico histológico com o diagnóstico radiográfico dos casos. Material e método: A partir de terceiros molares extraídos de 26 pacientes, foram analisados espécimes histológicos de folículos pericoronários por dois examinadores calibrados. O diagnóstico histopatológico obtido foi relacionado ao radiográfico, sendo este realizado por meio de radiografias periapicais e, quando necessário, complementado por radiografias panorâmicas. Resultado: Dos 37 folículos pericoronários avaliados, 30% mostraram alterações histológicas compatíveis com cistos dentígeros; 51% eram folículos normais, e 19% continham apenas fragmentos de mucosa. Radiograficamente, 100% dos casos demonstraram características de folículos sem alterações. Conclusão: Esses dados exemplificam que anormalidades podem estar presentes nos tecidos pericoronários sem que haja evidências clínicas e radiográficas. O exame histopatológico provê um diagnóstico mais preciso e deve ser considerado para a construção do diagnóstico definitivo.

Abstract

Introduction: Dental follicles remain adjacent to the crown of an unerupted or impacted tooth. Changes in dental follicles can occur and form a solitary cyst around the crown of the tooth, deemed dentigerous cysts. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of soft tissue changes around unerupted or impacted third molars. Material and method: Pericoronal tissue of patients who were referred to our clinic for removal of third molars for a variety of reasons was examined histopathologically. Follicular spaces were measured from periapical and panoramic radiographs by each author independently. Result: Of the 37 specimens submitted for histopathologic examination, 19 normal follicular tissues (51%), 11 arrangements typical of a cyst (30%) and 7 normal tissues of oral mucous (11%) were found. Conclusion: Cystic changes may be encountered in the histopathologic examination of radiographically normal unerupted or impacted third molar follicles.

Keywords
