Dental Case Analysis – Recurrent Jawbone Infection With Persistent Facial Rash

Case Overview

This case involves a patient with a history of bacterial infection in the lower jawbone affecting teeth 25 and 26, complicated by bone loss and incomplete root canal treatment due to canal calcification. Years later, imaging shows recurrent infection, alongside a persistent facial rash localized to the same area, causing emotional and physical distress.

What Is Seen in This Case

The image shows a treated tooth with sutures placed on the surrounding gum tissue. The area appears reddened and swollen, indicating recent root canal–related surgical treatment or management of an infection at the root area. The presence of sutures suggests that the infection required surgical access, drainage, or gum repair.

This is a normal appearance shortly after treatment but requires close monitoring.
