Medical Conditions - Periodontal Abscess

It is defined as the localized accumulation of pus within the gingival wall of a periodontal pocket. It occurs due to a cracked tooth, absorption of a root, and invagination of the tooth. The periodontal pocket formed by the debridement of calculus into the soft tissues causes the proliferation of the bacteria.
