Interesting case where we discovered severly resorbed roots( see photo of their actual appearance after extraction!)on the central incisors on the 79 year old lady, to the new dentist I would thoroughly recommend keeping the natural teeth for the technician to copy the shape( unless you want to improve their shape of course ) , we could not save them and of course we put in two immediate placement implants as she had good well formed bone under these resorbed roots

An 85 year old patient presented with mild pain yesterday at my office and his panoramic revealed this! We are now waiting for his CBCT scan to assess the true extent of this lesion in his lower jaw.
Despite the obvious pathology....I feel its an important lesson to 'why' you should attend the dentist regularly and even more why every 3/4 years we as dentists request a panoramic, this is the second time this year that we discovered quite advanced lesions in patients ...its not financial its an essential diagnostic tool.

This is an interesting article and quite a traumatic medical journey for this lady but sadly I have posted this article to reassure our Athens based patients that we have an amazing stomatology group in Athens ( many)and we can get these lesions diagnosed very quickly and removed, very rarely do we see this situation that the patient has had the lymph nodes removed etc which is a much bigger operation as we catch these lesions early. Patients however must get checked if they have a persisitent ulcer or white patch in their mouth, that we cannot control and also the habits that contribute to mouth lesions...HPV virus, smoking, excessive alcohol, spicy food .....stay aware of your mouth without being fanatic only a small percentage get oral cancer..its main increase is incidence is due go the HPV infection.

Helen Keough noticed a new ulcer had appeared underneath her tongue in summer last year. The 44-year-old project manager believed the painful sore was caused by being 'busy and run down'.
