As the progression progresses, the abscess will increase in size and eventually burst, and in its place will appear fistula. It is an open wound, from which oozes pus.
Another, not less dangerous, factor, provoking the appearance of growths - periodontitis and periodontitis. As a rule, these diseases are the consequence of improper treatment of caries or its absence. Bacterial infection from the affected cavities penetrates into the pulp, then into the root canals and gradually reaches the bone tissue. Outwardly this process looks like a large and dense neoplasm near the tooth with a white or yellowish surface.
