It occurs in a vitaltooth with a good blood supply when the pulp has been exposed to caries ortrauma.Objective: The aim of this study to evaluate different radiographic periapical changesof primary and permanent dentition in clinically detected pulp polyp patients.Materials and Methods: Patients who were clinically diagnosed with pulp polypwere subjected to radiographic examination. Digital intraoral periapicalradiographs of 70 patients with pulp polyp were taken. Various periapical changesof primary and permanent dentition in the digital radiographs were recorded . Thedata obtained was subjected to statistical analysis using SPSS version 16.0.Result: All 70 patients showed definite periapical changes. Out of which periodontalligament (PDL) space widening was seen in all 70 cases (100%), lamina duradiscontinuity was observed in 50 cases (71.43%), periapical rarefying osteitis wasnoted in 20 cases (28.57%), condensing osteitis was accounted in ten cases(14.29%), periapical granuloma was observed in six cases (8.57%),hypercementosis was accounted in nine cases (12.86%) , root resorption andperiapical cyst was observed in eight cases each (11.43%).Conclusions: The results of the present study showed that majority of the pulp polyppatients observed at young age group in both gender and the majority of the pulppolyp patients were associated with definite periapical changes that suggestedbeing a periapical lesion.
