Additionally, the gums around both teeth had become enlarged, as depicted in Figure 1.

Tooth roots were small and thin-walled, and interglobular dentine was more obvious than in teeth with normal development, characteristics that point to RO (Fig. 7).
Microscopic view of soft tissue. Collection of granulation tissue infiltrated with inflammatory cells. Bacterial colonies with basophilic stain in the center of the colony and eosinophilic stain at the periphery. Areas of dense collagen with minimum vascularity

Granulation tissue had cells that were causing inflammation, and the presence of certain types of bacterial colonies that have a blue center and a red outer ring (as seen in Fig. 8) suggested the presence of a condition called actinomycosis.
