I had an extraction six months ago (and a permanent bridge put in).  Since then, ive had three bone fragments come out of my gum and my gum/bridge area feels like something needs to squish out of it.  It is uncomfortable 24/7, yet my dentist says everything has healed nicely and nothing shows on follow-up X-rays.  My dentist finally referred me to an established oral surgeon who took a 3-D xray and tells me I have sclerotic bone formation.  He gave me three steroid injections in my gum and that had no effect.  Now, he wants to cut my gum open for a look and inject steroid directly into the bone.  I am wary of this and can not find any information about this procedure.  Discussion with an additional dentist also confirmed that both dentists are not familiar with either my condition nor the proposed treatment.  Can you advise?
Dear friend. Thanks for sharing your concern. Sclerotic bone formation is not normal bone formation pattern. That is not good quality bone which is required. It is brittle in nature and wears of fast giving less or no support to your roots.Therefore, your oral surgeon wants to inject steroid directly at the site of bone formation and wants to see further results. It should recover after this procedure.Therefore, in my view you can go for this treatment. Hope it helps. Thanks. Take care.
