 Granuloma of the tooth

 Granuloma is a nodular inflammation of the periodontium, i.e. the soft tissues that surround the tooth.  In appearance, it is an elastic tubercle that "blows out" on the gums in the area of the root of the tooth.


 Inside it is a liquid-filled capsule in which bacteria are actively multiplying.  Granuloma appears on the root or basal part of the tooth, but most often a dense bubble is localized on the apex of the root.

 Visually, a tooth granuloma is diagnosed when it grows to 3–8 mm.  If the size of the nodule increases to 1 cm or more, the granuloma grows into a cyst.

 Due to the fact that periodontal inflammation is initially asymptomatic, it is rarely possible to detect the disease in its early stages.
