However, complex histological changes occur under several pathological conditions. Abnormal tooth resorption could be found in primary teeth due to certain causes until the completion of the permanent dentition. In Japan and eastern Asia, calcium hydroxide paste with silicon oil added iodoform is widely used for endodontic treatment of deciduous teeth. This material is sometimes excessively filled within root canals, and pathological reactions have been already discussed in previous sections. In this part, the influences on deciduous tooth endodontic therapy will be described in detail. The most characteristic feature is abnormal tooth resorption via osteoclast-like multinucleated giant cells (MGCs) and foreign body giant cells (FBGCs). In the later part of this section, the characteristics of foreign body type giant cells will be discussed through in vivo experiments., Editor, Toshiyuki Kawakami, Language Editor, David M Carlson, viii, 232 p. ill.
