Dr. Lin Yunfei
If the alveolar bone hyperplasia is physiological, treatment is generally not required. If it is caused by periapical inflammation, root canal therapy can be performed under a doctor's guidance. After treatment, oral medications such as metronidazole tablets and ibuprofen sustained-release capsules may be taken to reduce inflammation and relieve pain. If it is caused by a jaw cyst, decompression via windowing surgery may be chosen according to medical advice, followed by oral administration of medications such as azithromycin tablets and amoxicillin capsules for further treatment.
