What needs to be to treat a lump inside the tooth?
Patient: i had a root canal done years ago and my crown and posts fell out about 4 years ago - i have never done anything but now there is a lump inside what is left of my original tooth- doesn't hurt but i can't chew and the lump fills up the remaining space of the tooth. is this an abcess? Doctor: Dear User,Thanks for using health care magic.From the available description it appears that lump is not a abscess.This may be a cyst.The second possibility is of a tumor. it may be benign or malignant. If it is rapidly progressive than chance of being malignant is much more.In my view you need to see your dentist so he can check and evaluate you accordingly.'Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help".Thanks
