Periapical periodontitis, also known as apical periodontitis (AP) or periradicular periodontitis, is a dental condition characterized by an acute or chronic inflammatory lesion around the apex (tip) of a tooth root. This condition is typically the result of bacterial invasion of the pulp of the tooth.
If you are experiencing symptoms or have been diagnosed with periapical periodontitis, it is essential to seek professional dental care. The treatment for periapical periodontitis typically involves addressing the underlying infection and inflammation to promote healing and preserve the affected tooth whenever possible.
