    A dental abscess is a localized collection of pus associated with a tooth. The most common type of dental abscess is a periapical abscess, and the second most common is a periodontal abscess.

    Necrotizing ulcerative periodontitis (NUP) is where the infection leads to attachment loss, and involves only the gingiva, periodontal ligament and alveolar ligament. [ 9 ] [ 10 ] [ 11 ] Progression of the disease into tissue beyond the mucogingival junction characterizes necrotizing stomatitis (cancrum oris).

  6. Periapical cyst - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periapical_cyst

    Dental cysts are usually caused due to root infection involving tooth decay. Untreated dental caries then allow bacteria to reach the level of the pulp, causing infection. The bacteria gains access to the periapical region of the tooth through deeper infection of the pulp, traveling through the roots.

  7. Pericoronitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pericoronitis

    Pericoronitis is inflammation of the soft tissues surrounding the crown of a partially erupted tooth, [1] including the gingiva (gums) and the dental follicle. [2] The soft tissue covering a partially erupted tooth is known as an operculum, an area which can be difficult to access with normal oral hygiene methods.
