Non-malignant non-endodontic lesions mimicking periapical lesions of endodontic origin: a systematic review

Five electronic databases, PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Embase and ProQuest, were searched (till July 2021) for case reports, case series and cross-sectional studies, in English language, reporting NMNPL which were clinically and/or radiographically simulating periapical pathosis of endodontic origin. Data extraction was done followed by quality assessment of the included articles using the Joanna Briggs Institute tool for case reports and case series.
