Study Notes
Inflammation Types
- Acute inflammation is associated with severe pain and short duration.
Inflammatory Cells
- The main inflammatory cell involved in acute inflammation is the neutrophil.
Pulpitis
- Reversible pulpitis is characterized by pulp tissue that can recover with treatment, whereas irreversible pulpitis leads to necrosis of the pulp tissue.
Tissue Response
- Inflammation is the response of living tissue to an irritant, involving a complex series of events.
Mechanism of Acute Inflammation
- The primary mechanism of acute inflammation involves increased blood flow, capillary permeability, and leukocyte migration to the site of injury.
