Chronic apical periodontitis - what does this mean
Chronic apical periodontitis is an inflammatory disease of the supporting structures of the teeth caused by bacterial infection. it is characterized by inflammation of the periodontal ligament and alveolar bone around the root of the tooth, leading to the formation of a granuloma, cyst, or abscess.
What happens during the disease - chronic apical periodontitis
Chronic apical periodontitis is an inflammatory disease of the periodontium caused by bacterial infection of the root canal. it is characterized by destruction of the periodontal ligament and alveolar bone around the root of the tooth. the bacterial infection is initiated by the accumulation of dental plaque and calculus, leading to a decrease in the local immune response and the development of anaerobic microorganisms. this leads to the production of toxins, which cause inflammation and destruction of the periodontal tissues.
