This is Lexie.  She was treated with antibiotics only to have the abscess recur over the weeks prior to presentation.  The tooth and gum tissue looks fairly normal.  The x-ray shows a decrease in the periapical bone density on the fourth premolar.  The right first molar has an obvious periapical lucency on the palatal root.  Those two teeth and the second molar were extracted.  Lexie came back Jan13th for her recheck.  The suborbital lesion has healed.
