Tooth Implant

This defect arose through bacteria coating the tooth (plaque). The plaque has destroyed the substance that holds the tooth in place; the supportive tissue of the tooth has been broken down, the tissue which surrounds the root and the surrounding bone has been destroyed.This defect arose through an inflammation around the root apex (artery, vein or nerve). This inflammation is responsible for the destruction of the bone.
