Professors, dentists and oral surgeons at the PSM College of Dental Science and Research in Thrissur India tell of a 20-year-old who was looking for them.

On top of that, he said his dentist gave him broad-spectrum antibiotics, and the treatment made him a little better.

After a short time the pain returned.

Then he visited the PSM College of Dental Science and Research, where he talked about the pain and that he often had a fever.

He did not remember his injury to his face, and no treatment was performed on his teeth.

The staff examined his face and discovered that it was asymmetric on the right side and that he had swelling next to the lower molars.

A digital orthopedic chart, a special type of X-ray, was taken of the teeth, which showed a large round mass in the painful area.

Health workers suspected the man had a tumor in his jawbone, and decided to perform a caliber surgery.

The biopsy showed that the bullet contained connective tissue with what they described in the medical journal as “extensive chronic inflammation and necrotic acellular areas.”

It turned out that it was not a tumor, but a radioactive mushroom.

In the medical journal, professors and oral surgeons do not hide the fact that the discovery of actinomycetes was an exciting thing.
