Cavitation is a hole in the jaw bone, an area of dead bone. It often occurs after a tooth extraction when the bone doesn’t heal properly. This can lead to some issues, including:
- Infection: Cavitations can become breeding grounds for bacteria, leading to chronic infection.
- Pain: While not always painful, cavitations can cause discomfort, especially when chewing or biting.
- Systemic health issues: Some people believe that cavitations can cause health problems. But, researchers need more studies to confirm this.
We use a Sirona low dose CBCT 3D scan to identify areas of osteonecrosis or Cavitation. Ozone therapy or surgery can treat them.
