Brief Answer:
Looks for bone graft procedure.

Detailed Answer:
Hi..
Thanks for the query..

The procedure that you are being advised to get done is "BONE GRAFTING" procedure for the bone loss caused due to abscess..

It is a procedure that is done to fill up the voids / defects in alveolar portion of jawbone caused due to infection or other causes and in your case if there is abscess that has caused the bone damage then it is probably due to infection..

In the bone grafting procedure, graft material is placed in the target area and the gum is stitched and gradually the bone is formed in the area and the defect is filled up with the help of graft material..

Please write back for further queries..

Hope this information helps.

Regards.
