Provokes the appearance of cysts of the tooth root infection that enters the root canal of teeth. In this case, inside the cyst immediately begins an inflammatory process spread which does not give its thick walls. Continuous growth of cysts leads to replacement of the bone tissue located around the tooth root, which greatly affects human health.
Formation and growth of the cyst occurs in a long time. Therefore, if a person regularly visiting the dentist, in time to recognize the formation of cysts will not be easy.
