Study Notes
Diagnosis Related to Vital Pulp
- 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.
Diagnosis Related to Necrotic Pulp
- 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.
