How to treat this.
My symptoms are,
Constant lower jaw pain under the ear and neck for more than 10 months now. Seen ENT, GP, OMFS.2 small lump spots in jaw,neck. Had neck ultrasound and CT. Normal results.
Went to dentist in May'20 when this pain started. Xray normal.tapped on all teeth and 46 hurts& sensitivity for tapping and biting pressure. Taken cbct scan. Suspected tooth root fracture. Sent to endo. Endo couldn't see anything. Told to do Rct for tapping and biting pressure. Had Rct and crown. Still the same symptoms in lower jaw under ear and neck along with this tapping and biting pressure on 46.
Dentist blame 46 is causing my jaw pain which is constant since May. Want me to extract it to see if it helps. Endo is not recommending to do, told to extract if I can't handle the pain. No definite diagnosis.
Seen second opinion.The new dentist said there was PDL widening in 46 in old xrays. None of them told me before.How to treat it?had Rct before 6mos. does pdl widening and root crack cause these?

Yes pdl widening can cause pain.you need to go for coronoplasty to lessen the trauma
In addition, RCT needs to be checked because of some discrepancy in restoration
Next Steps
So two procedures need to be done -Coronoplasty and rerestoration
