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.

CBCT Teeth Case Analysis – Apical Infection Adjacent to Dental Implant

Case Overview

This CBCT image shows a posterior mandibular area with a natural molar next to an existing dental implant. The natural tooth presents a clear apical radiolucency, indicating infection at the root apex. Bone density changes are visible between the infected tooth and the implant site.

Full Analysis and Diagnosis

Clinical Findings

• Natural molar with deep restoration

What Is Seen in This Case

The image shows a severely broken tooth with dark decay and visible infection, located near the back of the mouth. The tooth structure is largely destroyed, and the surrounding gum tissue appears red, swollen, and irritated, which strongly suggests an active dental abscess.

This condition usually develops after long-term untreated tooth decay.

Most Likely Diagnosis

Based on visual examination, the most likely conditions include:

• Severe tooth decay
