Best Dental Cavitation in Costa Rica
At America Dental, we have MORE THAN 18 YEARS of experience providing the highest level of biological and holistic dental care. We use our dental care technology and abilities to improve the future of your health.
Dental cavitation is a hole in the surface of the tooth. Generally, it appears when the caries is not treated at the beginning and perforates the dental enamel, reaching the dentin and, later, the pulp.
Cavitation teeth refer to a hole in the bone and are not a complete dental term as they can form in any bone in the body. However, if we focus on dentistry, cavitation refers to an area that has undergone a process of infection, inflammation, or necrosis within the jaw and is a severe pathology that usually requires surgery.

Best dental care treatments emerge from
understanding the needs of the people
We have the best option for dental cavitation treatment. We are going to explain the concept and the process of dental cavitation. Cavitation Teeth form a space or a hole within a solid object.
In dentistry, dental cavitation refers to a hollowed-out space in the jawbone due to necrosis, ischemia, or bone infections. NICO (Neuralgia-Inducing Cavitational Osteonecrosis) was coined for a better understanding.
It is also known as Avascular necrosis. NICO is the jaw-based variation of osteonecrosis. Osteonecrosis is bone death ensued by ischemia (loss of blood supply to the bone, resulting in a collapse of the structure. Bone necrosis leaves a hole in the jawbone.
This space or hole harbors bacteria responsible for the breakdown of different enzymes responsible for normal cellular functions and producing toxins that affect the blood supply of the bone.
What are the Dental Cavitation Cause and Appearance?
Cause
There are several causes for dental cavitation, but it is often provoked by previous dental treatment, like dental extractions or chronic infection from failed root canals, impacted wisdom teeth, and non-vital teeth. In addition, odontogenic cysts can be one of the causes.
Causes & risk factors more associated explicitly with jawbone-based osteonecrosis include certain medications, long-term alcohol use, injury or increased bone pressure, gum disease, heavy smoking, and low oral doses of bisphosphonates used in the prevention or treatment of osteoporosis.
Dental cavitation can also be related as a risk factor to osteoporosis, bone dysplasia, or after radiotherapy and chemotherapy. However, the latter is less frequent as compared to the former causes.
Appearance
Let’s take tooth extraction as an example. When a tooth is extracted, periodontal fibers responsible for holding the teeth in the socket are now detached.
If there was a pre-existing infection & socket debridement was neglected, the result is the incomplete filling of the bone, which impedes healing and leaves a space in the bone.
What are the Dental Cavitation Signs and Symptoms?
When we find dental cavitation, acute infections present symptoms like throbbing pain, swelling & extreme discomfort that are hard to miss. However, the case for chronic pain is ultimately the opposite.
In chronic infections, mild & intermittent pain is experienced & sometimes even that is absent, and the diagnosis is usually accidental & unintentional.
Detection
A 3D x-ray is required to assess the tooth in question and the structures surrounding it.
A radiolucency or a black area is identified at the site of infection in the x-ray. Tooth extraction is the last approach & is taken after all other alternatives are exhausted, like Ozone Therapy, Laser treatment, and Toxic metal removal from the body.
