Description

This image presents a sagittal section illustrating the anatomy of condensing osteitis in the region of the distal root of a lower molar. The molar is affected by advanced carious destruction, with the infection reaching deep into the root canal and causing significant pulpal necrosis. This condition is typically asymptomatic and is often discovered during routine radiographic examinations, but it reveals a long-standing infection that requires endodontic intervention. The visualization clearly shows the structural changes in both the tooth and the surrounding bone.
