  2. Pulp necrosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulp_necrosis

    In some cases of pulp necrosis there is a yellow, grey or brown crown discolouration. Dark coronal discoloration is believed to be an early sign of pulp degeneration. [16] Teeth with said discolouration need to be treated with special care and further investigations are required before pulp necrosis can be diagnosed. [11]

  3. Pulpitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulpitis

    The pulp is still alive, but the introduction of bacteria into the pulp will not allow the pulp to heal and it will ultimately result in necrosis, or death, of the pulp tissue. [ 11 ] Symptoms associated with irreversible pulpitis may include dull aching, pain from hot or cold (though cold may actually provide relief) lingering pain after ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enamel-dentine_fracture

    b) Pulp Necrosis: The pulp tissue dies as a result of untreated pulpitis or direct trauma. Tooth discoloration; Infection: If bacteria penetrate the dentin and reach the pulp, it can lead to abscess formation or other periapical (around the root tip) infections. This can result in swelling, pain, and possible tooth loss if left untreated.

  5. Periapical cyst - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periapical_cyst

    The bacteria gains access to the periapical region of the tooth through deeper infection of the pulp, traveling through the roots. The resulting pulpal necrosis causes proliferation of epithelial rests of Malassez which release toxins at the apex of the tooth. The body's inflammatory response will attack the source of the toxins, leading to ...

  6. Gangrene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gangrene

    Necrosis is indeed an unregulated form of cell death, unlike apoptosis, which is a more controlled, programmed process. When tissues undergo necrosis, they swell, rupture, and release their contents, which can trigger inflammation and further tissue damage. When a large area of tissue is affected by necrosis, it can lead to gangrene.

  7. 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]

  8. Epulis fissuratum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epulis_fissuratum

    This condition occurs in association with denture wearing, and so those affected tend to be middle aged or older adults. 66-75% are estimated to occur in women. [1] Epulis fissuratum is the third most common reactive lesion that occurs in the mouth, after peripheral giant cell granuloma and pyogenic granuloma. [10]

  9. Tooth pathology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth_pathology

    Tooth pathology is any condition of the teeth that can be congenital or acquired. Sometimes a congenital tooth disease is called a tooth abnormality.These are among the most common diseases in humans [1] The prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of these diseases are the base to the dentistry profession, in which are dentists and dental hygienists, and its sub-specialties, such ...
