Endodontic practice may be affected by periapical radiopaque/hyperdense lesions. Endodontists may have trouble diagnosing and treating radiopaque lesions. Inflammatory, non-inflammatory, neoplastic, dysplastic, metastatic or metabolic bone changes may occur. With the increased use of cone-beam CT, a detailed review of radiopaque lesions may help clinicians differentiate these lesions. Differentiating inflammatory, non-inflammatory and neoplastic disorders simplifies diagnosis and helps choose the best treatment. This literature review covers radiopaque/hyperdense lesion differential diagnoses, clinical, radiographic, histological and management issues.
