P.g.-odontogenic infection induces inflammation in jaw. (a) Histological findings of root apex area at 9 weeks after P.g.-odontogenic infection. After 9 weeks of P.g.-odontogenic infection, periapical granuloma was seen at the root apex area of infected tooth (H&E staining). Magnification: X40. (b) Immunohistochemistry of neutrophils in the dental granuloma. Numerous Ly-6B.2 positive neutrophils (brown granules) are observed in HP. Magnification: X100. (c) Immunohistochemically P.g. was detected in necrotic pulp and viable cells in periapical granuloma. Magnification: X1000. Arrow: P.g.
