The Greek word "kystis", used to refer to a condition such as a dental cyst, is translated as "blister". This name most accurately reflects the essence of this disease. With it, a cavity is formed at the root of the tooth, which is filled with liquid (bacteria and dead cells), and the comparison with a bubble in this case is most appropriate.
The consequences of untimely treatment of a cyst in the gum of a tooth can be the most unpleasant - including tooth loss. The process may also involve neighboring teeth, which will also require professional dental treatment.

Cyst symptoms
In the initial stages, the cyst is almost invisible. Unlike an abscess, it does not break out, but at the same time continues its development inside, affects healthy tissue of the jaw bone and leads to loosening of the tooth. As the inflammatory process develops, the following symptoms of a cyst in the tooth appear:
- pain in the affected area;
- swelling of the gums;
- increased body temperature;
- swollen and tender lymph nodes;
- flux.
The pathology quickly develops into a chronic stage and is asymptomatic for humans. During an exacerbation, attacks of pain may occur when eating solid foods. Gradually, the tooth enamel becomes gray or yellow, and the tooth shifts. As soon as the immune system fails due to acute respiratory viral infections or exacerbation of chronic diseases, the growth of the cyst accelerates, so the appearance of a fistula, swelling, acute pain, fever and migraine is observed.
Indications
- Bite abnormalities.
- Periodontitis.
- Installation of orthodontic systems.
- Severe deformation of the ligamentous apparatus (tooth loosening).
- Hyperdontia.
Contraindications
- ARVI and weak immunity.
- Chronic and acute forms of diseases of the cardiovascular system.
- Nervous and mental disorders.
- Cancerous tumors.
Causes
There are many reasons why this problem occurs, so it is almost impossible to prevent its occurrence. Among the most common reasons for its formation are the following:
- mechanical impact on the lower abdomen (for example, injuries, bruises);
- hormonal deficiency (progesterone deficiency);
- genetic abnormalities of the embryo (developmental defects);
- stress;
- heavy physical activity;
- diseases of the uterus (chronic endometritis, endometriosis, fibroids, uterine malformations (septum, duplication, additional horn, etc.);
- disorders of the blood coagulation system;
- autoimmune aggression (eg, antiphospholipid syndrome);
- sexually transmitted infections, etc.;
- vascular pathology.
Also, noise and vibration (occupational factor) and even the environment can contribute to the formation of a hematoma.
Retrochorial hematoma can be suspected when spotting bloody discharge from the genital tract appears, but it is often an incidental finding during ultrasound, not accompanied by any symptoms. The presence or absence of symptoms is largely due to the location of the hematoma: if it is located high, in the area of the fundus of the uterus, it does not manifest itself in any way, only slight aching pain in the lower abdomen is possible. If the hematoma is located low, at the edge of the ovum, it often empties and “scares” the woman with bloody discharge from the genital tract. Sometimes these discharges can be quite copious, especially if a vessel in the uterine wall is damaged during the formation of a hematoma. And the blood is released liquid and scarlet.
Brown discharge from the genital tract in the presence of a hematoma is considered, as strange as it may sound, a good prognostic sign, since in this way the hematoma empties and disappears. If the discharge from the genital tract is abundant and scarlet, this is already a serious situation - this may indicate an increase in the area of detachment, and, accordingly, an increased risk of threatened miscarriage.
Why does a cyst appear?
The causes of the appearance of a dental cyst, a photo of which can be seen in this article, are injuries due to mechanical stress or infection, which leads to the development of inflammation of the tissues surrounding the tooth. A tooth inside the gum can be injured under a variety of circumstances, for example, when the tooth is hit or when chewing nuts. As for infection, it can get into the root canal if dental treatment is performed incorrectly, in particular, if the dental canal is incompletely filled. A cyst that arose as a result of sinusitis or another infectious disease is relatively rare. In this case, pathogenic microorganisms enter the gums along with the blood flow.
Contraindications to treatment with antibacterial drugs
Compositions for suppressing the inflammatory process in gingival and bone tissue during toothache are not suitable for all patients. Restrictions for use are related to age, body reactions, and special conditions. Most antibacterial drugs should not be used by nursing mothers or pregnant women.
Main contraindications for antibiotic therapy:
- allergic reactions;
- liver and kidney failure;
- intolerance to the active substance: you need to choose a substitute with another active ingredient;
- myasthenia gravis;
- damage to the optic nerve;
- severe diseases of the gastrointestinal tract;
- the patient is taking medications that are incompatible with a certain group of antibiotics;
- tendinitis;
- epilepsy;
- children's age (restrictions are indicated in the instructions for the drug).
A limited range of antibacterial compounds are used in pediatric practice.
It is important to clarify in the instructions the age of the child for safe antibiotic therapy for acute inflammation of tissues in the oral cavity.
In case of purulent inflammation, the development of periostitis and periodontitis, when the gums are swollen, the dentist selects effective antibacterial compounds. Many inexpensive antibiotics work well for dental inflammation and quickly suppress the pathological process. New generation drugs with a minimal list of contraindications and side effects are safer.
Antibiotics for toothache.
Many people consider antibiotics a panacea for all ills and, at the first problem with their teeth, begin to take them intensively. However, such self-medication can cause irreparable harm to other organs and systems of the body, without improving the condition of the teeth. Prescribing antibiotics is the exclusive prerogative of the doctor. In what cases are these medications prescribed?
How does the disease develop?
The process begins with periodontitis, when the tissue located between the jaw bone and the tooth root becomes inflamed. As a result, the tissues located around the root begin to grow abnormally. Initially, the size of the neoplasm does not exceed five millimeters (it is called a granuloma). Growing and enlarging, it becomes covered with a membrane and transforms into a cyst.
There are cases when the cyst grows so much that it eats away the bone around the tooth. With the next exacerbation of inflammation, it opens, forming a channel to the outside through the gum mucosa. Such a channel is called a fistula or fistula tract.
It is worth noting once again the insidiousness of this disease, which not only negatively affects the condition of the roots of the teeth, but also affects the general condition of a person. At the initial stage, the pathology develops almost imperceptibly and can only be detected during a visit to the dentist. Pronounced symptoms appear in the later stages of the disease as a result of tumor growth and destruction of bone tissue.
The main danger of a cyst is the fact that, by corroding the bone, it deprives the patient of the opportunity to install an implant in place of a lost tooth without complex manipulations.
How to use an antibiotic for tooth inflammation with pus
At the first stage, while the pathological process is less active, rinses with an antibacterial effect are carried out as prescribed by the dentist.
Local medications act directly on the affected area and are less absorbed into the systemic circulation, which reduces the risk of side effects.
You need to crush the tablets of Lincomycin, Azithromycin or Tetracycline, combine them with lukewarm (not hot) boiled water, and rinse your mouth with the solution. The proportions of the components are selected by the dentist.
Active inflammatory process in the periosteum and gums after removal of the problem unit, with infection from the outside or hematogenously, flux is an indication for the prescription of antimicrobial compounds. It is important to prevent complications that develop when purulent masses accumulate or exudate exits into the oral cavity through the fistula. With the flow of blood and lymph, infectious agents penetrate into other parts of the body.
Periodontitis and periostitis in acute or chronic form are dangerous diseases. To heal the wound, the dental surgeon first cleans the affected area, removes a thick mass containing pathogens, particles of blood and mucus. The second stage is the prescription of antibacterial drugs. For purulent inflammation, penicillins show high effectiveness: Amoxicillin, Amoxiclav. Depending on the severity of the pathological process, antibiotics are taken orally or given injections.
If an odontogenic infection is detected, against which the gums fester, the use of the drugs Gentamicin, Grammidin C, Ciprofloxacin, Cifran is indicated.
What complications does a dental cyst lead to?
Untimely treatment or removal will lead to the following complications:
- Periostitis.
- Swelling.
- Abscess.
- Phlegmon.
- Temperature increase.
Usually the cyst does not make itself felt in any way, so complications may appear unexpectedly. To exclude serious consequences, you need to be examined by a dentist at least once every six months. The appearance of a capsule with pus can occur against the background of deep caries or severe inflammation of the gums, so do not delay a visit to a specialist.
The lack of results with conservative treatment leads to the fact that the cyst has to be removed along with the tooth.
Types and regimens of prescribing antibacterial drugs during implantation
The patient does not need to know what antibiotics are prescribed for dental implantation. It is enough to follow the instructions of the dentist: purchase prescribed antibacterial drugs at the pharmacy and take them according to the prescribed regimen.
The name of the drug, frequency and duration of its administration depend on the type and complexity of the operation performed. In some cases, for example, the doctor may prescribe a single dose of the antibiotic amoxicillin 60 minutes before installing the implants. Others require an additional dose of the drug six hours after surgery. When performing complex traumatic procedures, the dentist may prescribe a stronger antibiotic (Augmentin, Tsipran, Tsiprolet) several times a day for three or five days.
In general, it is useful for the patient to know that before any dental surgery you can independently reduce the number of microorganisms in the mouth. This can be done by rinsing the mouth with a 0.2% chlorhexidine solution. If you don't have it, you can use plain water. Rinsing even with it alone removes about 60-70% of bacteria.
Types of dental cyst
The type depends on the place of occurrence. A cyst forms in the maxillary sinus, gum, root or under the crown. To determine the type of capsule with pus, the specialist examines the medical history and assesses the client’s general health. There are 5 types of dental cysts:
- Follicular - formed when the tooth was unable to grow unhindered and most of it remained inside.
- Keratocyst - develops against the background of pathological processes during the growth of the body (the growth of the neoplasm is stimulated by the pharynx-forming tissue).
- Radicular - appears from a granuloma and is a serious complication of deep caries.
- Retention – is formed during the eruption of molars in children.
- Residual – appears due to complications and inflammatory processes after tooth extraction.
What are the contraindications for laser hair removal?
There are temporary factors under which laser hair removal cannot be done. These include:
- Pregnancy and lactation
Women during pregnancy face the physical challenge of removing unwanted hair because they simply cannot reach the right places. Therefore, they begin to think about the optimal method of hair removal and settle on laser hair removal. But this type of hair removal is contraindicated during pregnancy. The fact is that during pregnancy, hormonal levels are unstable, and the skin becomes sensitive. For these reasons, pigmentation may appear, and the process itself will be more painful. In addition, the effect of laser on the fetus has not been studied, and its safety for the embryo cannot be proven experimentally due to ethical considerations. But after giving birth, you can begin to destroy annoying hair, not forgetting about the list of other contraindications.
- Age up to 18 years
Firstly, in children most of the hair is dormant. They contain little dark pigment (melanin) and the laser removal procedure will be practically useless. Around the age of 12-13, active hair growth begins.
Secondly, adolescence is a time of raging hormones and restructuring of the entire body. It’s already difficult for a teenager’s body during this period and it’s better to give time to complete all the processes that have begun.
- Tanned skin
During laser hair removal, you should refrain from visiting the beach or solarium for 2-4 weeks and 2-3 weeks after the procedure. After exposure to the sun, the skin is dehydrated and needs hydration; it becomes dry and irritable, and therefore prone to burns and pigmentation. The laser affects the dark pigment located in the hair follicle. The best result will be when working with dark hair on light skin, and not vice versa. Creams and lotions for artificial tanning are also contraindicated. And after the hair removal procedure, you should not sunbathe, because the skin is susceptible to irritation and needs to be properly cared for. You should use moisturizers and sunscreens on exposed skin.
- Bioepilation
After removing hair with wax or sugar paste (sugaring), 30 days should pass. Because these methods remove roots and the laser hair removal procedure will be ineffective.
- Inflammatory phenomena in the treatment area
After epilation on an inflamed area of skin, the infection present on the surface can spread further. For example, applying a laser to an area of skin with folliculitis, formed due to saprophytic bacteria, can provoke the spread of infection over the entire surface and worsen the situation as a whole. In addition, in the presence of infections in the body, immunity decreases, which affects the timing of tissue healing. Laser hair removal during inflammatory processes can lead to pigmentation of this area. Since a laser beam hitting it can provoke the production of an increased amount of dark pigment (melanin).
- Skin damage
The area where the procedure is planned must be healthy. There should be no peeling, burns, allergic rashes, injuries or microtraumas. Otherwise, hair removal will not be effective and the damage may worsen. The procedure can be done after the skin has been restored.
Cyst on the root of a tooth
This species grows in the alveolar area and can appear in any area of the gum. There are no symptoms except for tingling when eating or touching. Pain appears in later stages of development. A cyst on the root of a tooth is divided into 3 types:
- Peri-root - appears in the upper part of the root.
- Interroot – formed between the roots.
- Radical - appears near the root canal and over time can cause the growth of a malignant tumor of the jaw (if not properly treated).

Conservative and surgical treatment of cysts
In the early stages, in the absence of complications, a conservative method is acceptable. The root canal is drilled and cleaned. The capsule with pus is opened and cleaned, and a composition with an antibiotic is poured inside. Next, a bone tissue regeneration paste is applied and a filling is installed. A control check after 6 months demonstrates the absence of a cyst on an x-ray in 80% of cases
Surgical treatment is prescribed if there is no result. With the help of cystectomy, the affected part of the tooth and the capsule with pus are completely removed. Cystectomy is an operation that not all dental surgeons can do. Hemisection is often used, which gives a 100% result and is prescribed for severe root damage. All affected tissue is removed, and the appearance of the tooth is restored with a crown or composite composition.
Complications and prognosis
With timely diagnosis and high-quality treatment, retrochorial hematoma in most cases does not pose a further threat to the course of pregnancy, which ends safely through the natural birth canal, especially if the hematoma occurs in the early stages of pregnancy. But unfortunately, partial chorion detachment can also cause the formation of early placental insufficiency, premature aging of the placenta and fetal malnutrition. The risk increases with bleeding occurring at 7–12 weeks of pregnancy; in this situation, pregnancy may cease to develop in 5–10% of cases. Retroplacental hematoma that occurs in later stages of pregnancy, especially located below the umbilical cord insertion site, is accompanied by the risk of spontaneous miscarriages, premature abruption of a normally located placenta, premature birth, retarded fetal growth and development, and the development of feto-placental insufficiency.
Another important prognostic sign is the size of the hematoma - the prognosis is considered unfavorable if the volume of the hematoma is more than 60 cm³ or if the area of the hematoma is 40% or more of the size of the fetal egg.
Conclusions:
- Retrochorial hematoma may be an asymptomatic, incidental finding on ultrasound.
- Spotting bloody discharge from the genital tract in the presence of a retrochorial hematoma is a favorable symptom of its emptying.
- Even in the absence of bloody discharge from the genital tract, in the presence of a retrochorial hematoma, complete physical rest and adequate complex therapy are necessary (the most effective is in a hospital setting).
- A hematoma that occurs in the early stages of pregnancy, with timely treatment in most cases goes away without consequences.
- The prognosis for the further course of pregnancy after the formation of a retrochorial hematoma depends on the period of pregnancy at which it appeared, its location, and its size.
And most importantly, in the presence of such a complication, do not panic, but strictly follow all the recommendations of the attending physician. Then you will have every chance to safely and happily carry and give birth to a healthy baby on your own!
