Apical pathology refers to diseases and conditions that affect the apices (tips) of the roots of teeth, particularly where the tooth roots interact with the surrounding bone. Commonly associated with dental pulp infections, it often manifests as periapical lesions, such as abscesses or granulomas. These conditions can lead to pain, swelling, and potential tooth loss if not treated. Diagnosis typically involves clinical examination and radiographic imaging to assess the extent of the pathology.
