Trendy one in dentist treated for inflammation (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tendinitis

'inflammation' is the definition.
(inflammation of a tendon)

'trendy one in dentist treated' is the wordplay.
'trendy' becomes 'in'.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'treated' indicates an anagram.
'in'+'i'='ini'
'dentist' with letters rearranged gives 'tendtis'.
'ini' inserted within 'tendtis' is 'TENDINITIS'.

'for' is the link.

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
