Brief Answer:
Looks like decay.

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
I have viewed the image and it looks like a decay..

But for confirmation you need to get it clinically checked so that the area can be checked with an explorer and confirmed..

Also if the decay is deep an x ray is done to see if the decay is reaching the nerves or not..

Please let me know for further questions.

Thankyou.
