Abstract
A case is presented in which rapid and extensive bone loss occurred around a maxillary molar with periapical infection by Bacteriodes gingivalis (Porphyromonas gingivalis). The lesion failed to respond to conventional endodontic therapy. An adjacent vital molar was extracted and an unfavourable periodontal condition occurred despite microbiological investigation and surgery.This publication has 24 references indexed in Scilit:
