Evaluation of the relationship between periapical lesions/sclerotic bone and general bone density as a possible gauge of general health among 80-year-olds

Periapical lesions accompanied by a diffuse type of sclerotic bone were more frequently seen in the mandible of 80-year-olds. To evaluate the clinical significance of sclerotic bone around periapical lesions in 80-year-olds, further study to evaluate the significance of endodontic treatment needs to be done.
