Always look for your more excellent videos. Thank for Dr. Branstetter's persistent efforts to educate through RUclips. I leaned a lot from your videos. Your videos are more enjoyable than reading lengthy textbooks. They are more concise and key points concentrated. Learning efficiency is high.
This is a controversial topic, and you are not alone! "Rarefying osteitis" will always be correct, since it is a description of the radiologic appearance. But unless you work in dental radiology, your referring physicians will have no idea what you are talking about. I am hopeful that the phrase "apical abscess" will be more familiar and will prompt a search for corroborating symptoms.

Thanks a lot . Love dental imaging although as radiologist we don’t get a formal teaching.
Great topic. I feel term "rarefying osteitis" should be used more but unfortunately most continue to call all periapical lucencies as abscesses.
