[|Human|] I had swelling and pain. i took treatment for root canel. but before closing the tooth my doc took X ray. And he said still the infection is there, it didnt reduce atleast 50%. so you either may have to take small surgery (episiotomy) to remove all infection or remove the tooth itself. what is the best solution ? Please suggest me if any other option is available ?
[|AI|]  Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The infection could be periapical granuloma or cyst. After root canal treatment if the infection does not subside then the root tip of the tooth has to be removed(discectomy) with retrograde filling. If it is a cyst then nucleation of the cystic lesion has to be done. Consult an oral physician and take a radiograph to rule out the extent of the infection and later decide the management part. I hope my answer will help you. Take care.
