Cant find any info on it. Try "condensing" osteitis. It's not a diagnosis, so much as sign on x-ray. The bone in this situation appears somewhat denser than the surrounding bone at the tip of the root; this is in contrast to the appearance of an abscess or granuloma at the tip of the root, which generally looks LESS dense. In either case, it MAY indicate a pulp that is in trouble.

And what would the treatment or solution be? I'm getting to where I cant chew on this crown I do wear an NTI at night but may have permanently damaged the crown before getting the NTI, correct? Treatment will most likely be a root canal/build-up/crown. > Mark & Steven Bornfeld <bornfeldmung@dentaltwins.com> > wrote: [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > I do wear an NTI at night but may have permanently > damaged the crown before getting the NTI, correct? > Treatment will most likely be a root canal/build-up/crown.

What is exactly involved in a root canal? What will they do?
