Study Notes
Pulp Exposures in Primary Teeth
- The higher prevalence of caries in primary teeth contributes to pulp exposures occurring more frequently in these teeth.
Pulp Involvement in Primary Molars
- Approximately 40% of primary molars with proximal cavities experience pulp involvement.
Clinical Diagnosis of Carious Teeth
- The clinical condition of the carious tooth and its surrounding tissues is an important diagnostic factor.
Pain Indicators
- Spontaneous throbbing and constant pain suggest pulpal damage-irreversible pulpitis.
- Provoked pain, stimulated by thermal, chemical, or mechanical irritants, suggests reversible pulpitis.
- Provoked pain indicates that the pulp is still responsive to stimuli, but irreversible pulpitis is indicated by spontaneous pain.
Main Cause of Pulp Exposure
- Caries is the main cause of pulp exposure in primary teeth.
Progressive Pulpal Disease
- Spontaneous pain indicates that the pulpal disease has progressed too far, suggesting irreversible pulpitis.
