Root tip infected at #48? Osteomyelitis?

It seems like you have been experiencing jaw pain and discomfort in the lower right region, particularly around the area where your wisdom tooth was extracted 15 years ago. Additionally, your lower molar region has also started to hurt. Despite several CBCT scans showing normal results, you have been experiencing severe pain in the gum surrounding tooth 47, particularly on the distal side. You have undergone scaling and root planing (SRP) twice in the last 6 months due to significant tartar buildup on this tooth. Your dentist has mentioned the possibility of a remaining root tip from your wisdom tooth on tooth 48, but it's uncertain if it is infected. Your dentist has advised getting an evaluation for possible osteomyelitis. It is essential to follow your dentist's recommendation and seek a thorough evaluation to determine the cause of the persistent pain and to assess if there is any infection or underlying condition such as osteomyelitis. Proper diagnosis and treatment will help address the issue and alleviate your discomfort. Consultation with a dental specialist or oral surgeon may be necessary for a comprehensive assessment and appropriate management of your condition.
