I chose the answer which had the element of "infection near X". as peri means near, and itis means infection .. and X had to be a crown too.

Reminds me when I had an infected wisdom tooth. It was cutting into my mouth. I had all four wisdom teeth removed then. This was circa 1989.

The suffix -it is means inflammation not swelling
