Condensing osteitis is often found on a tooth with what?

  1. Deep cavity

  2. Root fracture

  3. Recent restoration

  4. Periodontal disease

The correct answer is: Recent restoration

Condensing osteitis is a condition where there is an increase in bone density near the root of a tooth. It is often seen as a reaction to an irritant or damage to the pulp of the tooth, and can appear as a white or gray patch on the X-ray. This condition is not directly related to deep cavities, root fractures, or periodontal disease. However, a recent restoration in the affected area can contribute to the development of condensing osteitis. It is important for dentists to monitor any changes in the tooth's appearance on an X-ray and address any contributing factors to prevent further complications.
