Chronic pain persisted after dental treatments due to a bone cavity. Necrotic bone removal from this cavity was the suspected cause, offering a new understanding of persistent dental pain.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Oral Surgery
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Persistent chronic pain in the maxillary anterior region can be challenging to diagnose.
  • Previous endodontic and surgical treatments failed to alleviate the patient's symptoms.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with intractable pain in the maxillary left anterior region following trauma.
  • A subsequent surgical intervention identified a bone cavity near the maxillary left lateral incisor apex.

Findings:

  • The bone cavity contained necrotic bone, suspected as the etiology of the chronic pain.
  • Histopathological examination confirmed necrotic bone within the cavity.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering necrotic bone as a potential cause of persistent dental pain.

  • Identifying and removing necrotic bone may resolve refractory chronic oral pain.
  • Further research into bone necrosis following trauma and its link to chronic dental pain is warranted.
