Study Notes
Diagnostic Tests in Endodontics
- Thermal stimuli and EPT (Electric Pulp Test) are used to determine vitality of a tooth.
- The diagnostic procedure that helps in determining the vitality of a tooth is Thermal testing.
Symptoms of Acute Apical Abscess
- A common symptom of Acute Apical Abscess is pain.
Stages of Tooth Vitality
- In the necrotic stage, the tooth is non-vital with no response to thermal stimuli or EPT.
Root Canal Treatment (RCT)
- A condition that requires Root Canal Treatment (RCT) due to a draining sinus tract or fistula is a chronic apical abscess.
Identifying Endodontic or Periodontal Problems
- The diagnostic test that helps in identifying whether a tooth has an endodontic or periodontal problem is a periodontal probing.
Symptoms of Irreversible Pulpitis
- The classic symptom of irreversible pulpitis in a vital tooth is spontaneous pain.
Importance of Radiographs
- It is important to take both a periapical (PA) and bite wing radiograph to assess the entire tooth, including the surrounding bone and tissues.
