    Study Notes

    • Reversible pulpitis: Mild inflammation, returns to normal if cause is removed, usually asymptomatic.
    • Irreversible pulpitis: Severe inflammation, can be asymptomatic or cause various pain types; pulp is infected.
    • Hyperplastic pulpitis: Also known as "pulp polyp," occurs in open carious lesions and involves granulation tissue development.
    • Pulp calcification: Occurs in normal or chronically inflamed pulps; can lead to pulp stones blocking access to canals.
    • Calcific metamorphosis: Common after dental trauma, characterized by rapid hard tissue deposition, results in darker tooth color.
    • Internal resorption: Inflammation transforms pulp into vascularized tissue, resorbing dentin asymptomatically, may perforate periodontium.
    • Invasive cervical resorption: Localized resorption starting in the cervical area, associated with trauma, orthodontics, and other factors; pulp usually vital.
    • Condensing osteitis: Bone growth from mild pulp irritation; characterized by dense trabeculae and does not require treatment if no pulpitis.
    • Pulp necrosis: Complete pulp death, leading to various complications.
    • Acute apical periodontitis: Sudden inflammation in apical ligament, causing pain, often related to root canal infection or trauma.
    • Chronic apical periodontitis: Typically asymptomatic with apical radiolucency and potential granuloma formation.
    • Exacerbated apical periodontitis: Exacerbation of chronic condition, presents with micro-abscess and increased sensitivity.
    • Chronic apical abscess: Longstanding lesion that drains through mucosal or skin surface.
    • Acute apical abscess: Painful condition involving liquefaction necrosis, leading to swelling and systemic symptoms.
