Upon close observation, one of the upper front teeth shows visible dark discoloration—a likely indication of pulpal necrosis or internal tooth trauma. This often happens when the tooth’s nerve dies due to deep decay, previous injury, or infection spreading inside the pulp chamber. The surrounding gumline also appears slightly inflamed, which can contribute to pain and pressure sensitivity.

Full Analysis and Diagnosis

Upon zooming in at 100%, the molar region (likely third molar or second molar area) shows grayish-black necrotic tissue, possibly indicating infection or tissue death. There is yellowish exudate or pus, a clear sign of acute infection. The gum tissue around the infected site appears inflamed. The adjacent tooth structure is partially covered by infected tissue with visible gum swelling. This can be a sign of pericoronitis, abscess, or developing dry socket (if post-extraction).
