APICAL PERIODONTITIS IN OBTURATED TEETH

Post-treatment apical periodontitis is an inflammatory condition that arises around the apex of a tooth after root canal therapy, usually due to persistent or recurrent infection. Effective management is critical to prevent the spread of infection, alleviate pain, and ensure the long-term success of the treated tooth. Neglecting this condition can lead to severe complications, including bone loss and tooth extraction. Understanding and managing post-treatment apical periodontitis is essential for clinicians to maintain high standards of patient care, improve treatment outcomes, and prevent long-term dental issues, ensuring the overall health and functionality of the patient's dentition.
