Figure 7 Cropped panoramic radiography (left) and laser doppler ultrasonographic image of a 30-year-old female patient referred for slight percussion sensitivity in the right mandibular first molar region. On panoramic radiography, a well-defined radiolucent lesion on the mesial root of the first mandibular right molar was observed. Laser Doppler ultrasonographic evaluation revealed that there was blood flow in the region suggestive of a granuloma, which was proved by histopathological examination.
