Study Notes
Endodontic Diagnoses and Case Examples
- Asymptomatic Irreversible Pulpitis is a clinical diagnosis indicating vital inflamed pulp that cannot heal and requires root canal treatment.
- Pulp Necrosis is the clinical category indicating pulp death, requiring root canal treatment, and is non-responsive to testing.
- Previously Treated refers to teeth that have undergone endodontic treatment and do not respond to thermal or electric pulp testing.
- Apical Diagnoses include Normal Apical Tissues, Symptomatic Apical Periodontitis, Asymptomatic Apical Periodontitis, Chronic Apical Abscess, and Acute Apical Abscess.
- Chronic Apical Abscess is characterized by gradual onset, little discomfort, and pus discharge through a sinus tract.
- Acute Apical Abscess presents with rapid onset, spontaneous pain, pus formation, and swelling of associated tissues.
- Condensing Osteitis is a diffuse radiopaque lesion at the tooth apex due to low-grade inflammation.
- Clinical case examples include a mandibular molar with pulp necrosis and symptomatic apical periodontitis, a maxillary molar with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis, and a maxillary premolar with reversible pulpitis.
- Treatment for these cases may involve non-surgical endodontic treatment and restoration.
- These diagnoses are determined through clinical and radiographic findings and testing responses.
- The presence of caries, trauma history, and tooth discoloration are factors in diagnosing and treating these endodontic conditions.
- The text provides detailed case examples with clinical symptoms, testing responses, and radiographic findings to illustrate different endodontic diagnoses and their corresponding treatment plans.
