Granuloma is a rather complicated dental disease that can significantly reduce the functionality of the tooth and lead to its removal or loss. It is characterized by the onset
of inflammation in a certain area of the tissue, which is accompanied by the appearance of pus (the sac can reach a diameter of about 5 mm).
The presented disease can give impetus to the development of other pathologies: flux, cardiac and renal problems. Other organs may be affected. Therefore, granuloma is a disease that requires proper diagnosis and treatment. Recognizing the pathology is not easy. It can be accompanied by toothache, and in the later stages of development - by increased body temperature and darkening of enamel. However, the problem may not show any signs of existence. Therefore, the dentist must prescribe an additional x-ray examination, which will not only show the presence of bags with pus, but also clarify their location.
Granuloma is a disease that occurs as a result of inflammation of the soft tissues surrounding a tooth. In order to prevent the emergence and development of pathology, it is necessary to timely treat all infections that appear in the body, as well as monitor the hygiene of the oral cavity. However, if the problem has already appeared, then you should get rid of it as soon as possible. It should be noted that you cannot do this yourself, so you will have to contact a qualified specialist.
Treatment can be therapeutic and surgical. The second option is used much more often. If the problem is identified in time and has not yet been launched, you can try to eliminate it with the help of medications. Granuloma at the root of the tooth is treated by introducing drugs into the root canal. Medicines are chosen by the doctor, taking into account the sensitivity of the body and the individual characteristics of the patient. Naturally, a single injection of the drug may not be enough.
Granuloma is a disease that is rarely cured by traditional methods. During the elimination of inflammation, the tooth canal should not be open. If food particles get into it, then the results of the treatment will come to naught.
In advanced cases, removal of the granuloma is required. The procedure consists in the fact that under the diseased tooth, the gum is dissected and pus is removed. Since it cannot completely exit at a time, a small drainage tube is inserted into the tissue. It will be possible to remove it in a few days. After this, the site of inflammation should be completely cleaned and treatment with antibiotics should be continued.
At home, rinsing the mouth with antiseptic agents will be required. Naturally, the patient also needs to prescribe painkillers and drugs that will help relieve swelling from the gums. After this procedure, the tooth is almost completely preserved. In this case, the channel is sealed. In this case, prosthetics are not necessary.
