In young people, irritation of the chronically inflamed exposed tissue, which has an ample blood supply, leads to the proliferating granulomatous tissue ( Chronic Hyperplastic Pulpitis or Pulp Polyps ). [columbia.edu]
The most modern theory of healing is once the irritant stimulus is removed; the epithelial cells that have proliferated to become a foreign tissue are destroyed and removed by the immune system. [onlinedentallearning.com]

Plain radiograph / OPG and CT well-defined lucency at or distal to the root apex, usually 2-4 the tooth or teeth involved often show signs of caries an empty socket may indicate recent extraction for infection Treatment and prognosis Some dental abscesses [radiopaedia.org]
However, if the fracture line is horizontal or diagonal and superficial to the alveolar crest, then the prognosis may be better. [nature.com]
What Is the Prognosis for Dental Abscesses? The prognosis is good for resolution of a small dental abscess once it has ruptured or been drained. If the symptoms are improving, it is unlikely that the infection is getting worse. [emedicinehealth.com]
