Acute Apical Periodontitis is the initial stage of inflammation around the root apex of a tooth, often presenting as sharp pain and sensitivity to pressure or percussion. This condition develops due to untreated infection or trauma. Without timely treatment, it can evolve into more severe infections like an apical abscess. Root canal therapy or drainage is usually needed to resolve the inflammation and alleviate symptoms. Learn more about the early inflammatory response of this condition with our 3D model.
