  2. Pulpitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulpitis

    In addition, dental caries is more likely to develop pulpitis due to less time for the dental pulp to react and protect itself by occluding the dentinal tubules. [18] Based on the tooth injury, sensory nerve fibers react to pulpitis by growing terminal branches into the adjacent surviving pulp, which also changes the cytochemical phenotype.

  3. Pulp polyp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulp_polyp

    A pulp polyp may be found in an open carious lesion (tooth cavity), a fractured tooth, or within a cavity with a missing dental restoration. Due to lack of intrapulpal pressure in an open lesion, pulp necrosis does not occur as would be expected in a closed carious cavity. A good vascular supply and immune resistance is required for its ...

  4. Pulp (tooth) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulp_(tooth)

    The pulp is the neurovascular bundle central to each tooth, permanent or primary.It is composed of a central pulp chamber, pulp horns, and radicular canals. The large mass of the pulp is contained within the pulp chamber, which is contained in and mimics the overall shape of the crown of the tooth. [2]

    There is a limited amount of time when the cavity affects just the enamel, or the tooth’s outer surface, before reaching the dentin, or the pulp of the tooth.

  6. Periapical cyst - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periapical_cyst

    Dental cysts are usually caused due to root infection involving tooth decay. Untreated dental caries then allow bacteria to reach the level of the pulp, causing infection. The bacteria gains access to the periapical region of the tooth through deeper infection of the pulp, traveling through the roots.

  7. Dental abscess - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_abscess

    A dental abscess is a localized collection of pus associated with a tooth. The most common type of dental abscess is a periapical abscess, and the second most common is a periodontal abscess. In a periapical abscess, usually the origin is a bacterial infection that has accumulated in the soft, often dead, pulp of the tooth.

  8. Human tooth development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_tooth_development

    Blood vessels grow in the dental follicle and enter the dental papilla in the cap stage. [1] Groups of blood vessels form at the entrance of the dental papilla. The number of blood vessels reaches a maximum at the beginning of the crown stage, and the dental papilla eventually forms in the pulp of a tooth.

  9. Pulp capping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulp_capping

    Exposure of the pulp causes pulpitis (an inflammation which can become irreversible, leading to pain and pulp necrosis, and necessitating either root canal treatment or extraction). [1] The ultimate goal of pulp capping or stepwise caries removal is to protect a healthy (or reversibly inflammed) dental pulp, and avoid the need for root canal ...
