Any periodontist/ endodontist here?

Question

Asked for Female, 34 Years

I have severe pain in the gum #47. Severe pain in that gum which hurts always like throbbing around the gum margin. Dentist took x-rays and said it's ok. Is this gum looks infected? Do I need to do RCT or extraction? I posted earlier and one dentist from practo said that I have root tip on #48 region. I removed that tooth ten years ago. Don't know if anything left over there. Do you see any root tip there? And is it infected?? I have severe pain in the lower jaw near the mandible jaw line angle. Along with the pain in the molar gums. Have this pain since 2020. No relief yet. 1. Do I have any infection on #47? What to do next sure that? Had deep cleaning a month ago. Picture taken before SRP. Severe pain in that gum47 for 2 years now. 2. Do I have any root tip left under 48 region? Is it infected? Is my jaw bone infected? 3. Does root tip left over for ten years cause sudden pain now, in the jaw and adjacent gums?? Please help. Thanks a lot.

Under your query “when to replace the existing tooth” two days ago on Practo, you had shared an IOPA xray in which the remaining root of 48 that you got pulled out 10 years ago , is clearly visible. I had enhanced contrast and double checked it and the root along with the periodontal space is clearly discernible. Based on that Xray and the OPG you shared, I had given my consult. The IOPA xray that you have shared today is different. It’s not showing the 48 region completely. You can share your email through Practo if you feel it’s appropriate and I can pinpoint the exact location of the root to you. BTW, I am a periodontist with 32 years of experience and I can give you a video consultation on Practo too.
