OPG prediction
I got OPG done for my father. He was complaining about toothache. He has cavities too. He had incomplete RCT as he got covid in between the treatment. Can anybody please tell me the rate of infection in the teeth and the solution. He was on steroids for long and his glucose levels are also a bit on the higher side,. So I fear prolonged treatments as of now.
