Infections in the jawbone - Cavitations: A Commonly Overlooked Source of Chronic Inflammation

Infections in the jawbone, such as cavitations, often go unnoticed – yet they can have serious consequences for your overall health. These are chronic inflammatory sites that may develop after improper root canal treatments, tooth extractions, or poor bone regeneration. They are often accompanied by subtle or completely absent symptoms, making diagnosis even more difficult.

This category also includes conditions like NICO (Neuralgia-Inducing Cavitational Osteonecrosis) and FDOJ (Fatty Degenerative Osteonecrosis of the Jawbone), which can place long-term strain on the immune system and contribute to the development of other chronic diseases.

Biological dentistry therefore emphasizes a holistic approach – from precise diagnostics with 3D imaging, to careful surgical treatment, nutritional optimization, and vitamin support for healthy bone regeneration.

Possible Causes of Bone Problems:

  • Poor nutrition with components for bone healing
  • Deficiency in VitaminD3
  • Premature removal of teeth during the growth phase
  • Impaired blood circulation at the wound site caused by the use of adrenaline in the anesthetic
