Patient concern:
“Why is this bubble next to my tooth extraction not going away? I’ve been on 5 days of antibiotics and it’s made no difference. It’s been 4 weeks since extraction.”
Key visual findings (Zoomed assessment):
Periapical Radiolucency Case: Apical Infection, Bone Loss, and 14-Day Healing Guide
Both Image A and Image B show a dark, well-defined radiolucent area surrounding the root apex of one of the anterior teeth. This appearance is consistent with:
Periapical abscess
Periapical cyst
Chronic apical granuloma
Chronic apical periodontitis
In today’s rapidly advancing world of dental technology, robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) are transforming the field of dentistry. However, when it comes to complex surgical procedures—especially those involving advanced infections, severe bone loss, or delicate nerve areas—traditional surgical methods performed by skilled Filipino dentists remain the gold standard of treatment.
The client presented with multiple missing upper teeth and partial lower tooth crowding. Their main goal was to restore smile function and chewing comfort through a removable partial denture (RPD).
Before treatment, the patient had:
Missing anterior (front) upper teeth
Mild gum inflammation around extraction areas
Difficulty eating and speaking
Psychological discomfort due to visible tooth loss
We often think of our teeth as simple tools for chewing. We brush, we floss, and we hope they stay cavity-free. But your teeth are so much more than that. They are the silent architects of your face, and when they are lost, the effects on your appearance and health are profound.
