  2. Pulpotomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulpotomy

    Visual of tooth decay. Pulpotomy is a minimally invasive procedure performed in children on a primary tooth with extensive caries but without evidence of root pathology. [1] The minimally invasive, endodontic techniques of vital pulp therapy (VPT) are based on improved understanding of the capacity of pulp tissues to heal and regenerate plus the availability of advanced endodontic materials.

  3. Periapical periodontitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periapical_periodontitis

    It is a likely outcome of untreated dental caries (tooth decay), and in such cases it can be considered a sequela in the natural history of tooth decay, irreversible pulpitis and pulpal necrosis. Other causes can include occlusal trauma due to 'high spots' after restoration work, extrusion from the tooth of root filling material, or bacterial ...

  4. Pulpitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulpitis

    With a reversible pulpitis, sleep is usually not affected and no analgesics are necessary. Usually, no atypical change is evident on the radiograph. [4] Pulp vitality tests are positive and it is possible to preserve a healthy vital pulp. Irreversible pulpitis, in contrast, is characterised by a constant severe pain that arises without provocation.

  5. Pulp necrosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulp_necrosis

    Pulp necrosis is a clinical diagnostic category indicating the death of cells and tissues in the pulp chamber of a tooth with or without bacterial invasion. [1] It is often the result of many cases of dental trauma, caries and irreversible pulpitis.

  6. Pulp (tooth) - Wikipedia

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

    Irreversible puplitis may be symptomatic or asymptomatic. Asymptomatic irreversible pulpitis results from transition of symptomatic irreversible pulpitis into an inactive/quiescent state. This is due to its aetiology; inflammatory exudate can be quickly removed, e.g. through a large carious cavity or previous trauma that caused painless pulp ...

  7. Root canal treatment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_canal_treatment

    This allows the endodontist to choose the most appropriate treatment option, allowing preservation and longevity of the tooth and surrounding tissues. Treatment options for an irreversibly inflamed pulp (irreversible pulpitis) include either extraction of the tooth or removal of the pulp. Partial pulp amputation (pulpotomy) is the treatment of ...

  8. Periapical cyst - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periapical_cyst

    Periapical true cysts - cysts containing cavities entirely surrounded in epithelial lining. Resolution of this type of cyst requires surgical treatment such as a cystectomy. [10] Periapical pocket cysts - epithelium lined cavities that have an opening to the root canal of the affected tooth. Resolution may occur after traditional root canal ...

  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 ...
