Osteoperiostitis

Osteopertusitis is an inflammation of the periosteum, characterized by pain, hyperemia and swelling in the area of ​​the periosteal crest of the jaw or the body of the piriform bone. Predisposing causes are pathological changes in the periodontal sulcus. Depending on the location, the following clinical forms of osteopertusitis are distinguished: globular (areas of isolated inflammation of the mucous membrane, periodontium, buccal mucosa or alveolar process), alveolar (diffuse inflammation of the jaw bone tissue is noted due to acute odontogenic damage to the alveolar-alveolar region), pro-valve ( occurs with localized lesions of the pulp of the canines of the lower jaw), piriform (teeth with significant morphological abnormalities).

**Symptoms of osteopertuasis.** Patients are characterized by the following symptoms of the disease: pain when eating; pronounced restrictions on the movement of the lower jaw; positive provoking factors (for example, eating hot food or a toothbrush); pain on palpation of the alveolar tubercles; uneven tooth mobility; plaque, bad breath, organ weakening; subcutaneous case. The presence of all of the above symptoms indicates the development of an osteopertatic process.
