Extensive dental caries of 16 with marked lucency surrounding the roots (particularly the mesial root) in keeping with odontogenic infection. 26 and 47 are absent. Previous dental restoration in all 4 quadrants including 16. The mandible and temporomandibular joints appear normal.
Case Discussion
Good example of dental caries spreading into the roots and causing periapical infection.
