Do I have pdl issue/apical periodontis
I have ongoing pain in in lower jaw under ear and neck for more than 10 months.I have been to dentist , x-rays were normal. No infection or cavities. Tooth #46 hurts for tapping and biting pressure on it. Sensitive for bite too.he took CBCT scan and suspect fracture in root. Sent me to endo. He couldn't spot anything.Told to do root canal for tapping and biting pressure. Had Rct and crown. Still same symptoms in lower jaw under ear, side of neck.Along with tapping and biting pressure on 46. No changes.Dentist said 46 might be the reason for my jaw and neck pain. Took another cbct and nothing found. My pain is under the ear in lower jaw and side of neck. I have 2 small lump like spots under ear and neck. It's small and tender to touch.Had neck ultrasound and CT scan.Normal results.Do I have any periapical issues in this tooth?I went for second opinion.new dentist did a nerve block on 46.biting pressure went down with numb inj but jaw pain under ear present. pain in 46 back after numb.

From the xray images attached there is a pdl widening in 46.u can go for curretage and simultaneously chech whether the crown for rct is proper within normal height or high points persists.allow periodontal healing.check for wisdom tooth on either sides of upper and lower jaw.check for occlusal discrepancy.if needed.donot eat or chew in that side for 5 days.

Pain is only on chewing or biting? Can you describe your nature of pain? Neuralgia most probably.
