Periapical abscess with sinus - what does this mean

A periapical abscess with sinus is a type of dental infection caused by bacteria entering the tooth pulp and spreading into the surrounding tissue of the jawbone, forming a pocket of pus. this pocket of pus can then break through the bone and skin, forming a sinus tract and draining the pus.

What happens during the disease - periapical abscess with sinus

Periapical abscess with sinus is a condition in which an infection in the dental pulp of a tooth spreads to the periapical area, causing a localized collection of pus. the infection often spreads to the surrounding soft tissue and bone, leading to inflammation and the formation of a sinus tract. this sinus tract allows the infection to spread further, resulting in swelling and pain. if left untreated, the infection can spread to other areas of the body, leading to serious systemic illnesses.
