Study Notes

Pulpal Diseases and Their Characteristics

  • Inflammation will reverse and the pulp will return to its normal state if the cause is eliminated
  • Pathogenesis of acute pulpitis involves vascular dilation leading to increased vascular permeability and fluid exudate
  • Examination and diagnosis of acute pulpitis involves visual signs like caries or recent trauma, as well as specific symptoms and sensitivity tests
  • Treatment for acute pulpitis includes root canal treatment (RCT) in advanced stages
  • Differential diagnosis between reversible and irreversible pulpitis involves the presence and depth of caries, as well as the nature of pain
  • Chronic pulpitis is an inflammatory response of the pulp resulting from long-term, low-grade injury
  • Chronic closed pulpitis presents with intermittent dull aching pain and less sensitivity to heat and cold
  • Chronic open ulcerative pulpitis symptoms range from non-existent to minimal, with dull pain exacerbated by thermal changes
  • Chronic open hyperplastic pulpitis (pulp polyp) occurs in molar teeth of children and young adults, presenting as a painless red or pinkish soft nodule
  • Additional pulpal diseases include hyperemia, necrosis, retrogressive pulp changes, internal resorption, and previously treated tooth
  • Necrosis is the death of the pulp and can be classified as liquefactive or coagulative, with different pathogenesis and examination findings
  • Retrogressive pulp changes include atrophy, defined as a decrease in size, and typically requires root canal treatment

Pulpoperiapical Pathosis Classification and Treatment

  • Overinstrumentation can lead to inaccurate measurement of the R.C length
  • Improper manipulation includes pushing chemicals or toxic material into the surrounding periapical tissue
  • Incomplete removal of pulp tissue can result in infected remnants extending to the periapical area
  • Pulpoperiapical pathosis is classified into symptomatic and asymptomatic categories
  • Symptomatic pulpoperiapical disease is characterized by an inflammatory response of the periapical C.T.
  • Acute apical periodontitis (incipient stage) presents with moderate to severe pain, localized pain, and increased pain on percussion
  • Treatment for acute apical periodontitis (incipient stage) involves root canal treatment
  • Acute apical periodontitis (advanced stage) includes features such as throbbing pain and acute periapical abscess
  • Acute periapical abscess is an advanced exudative and severe symptomatic inflammatory response of periapical C.T.
  • Recrudescent abscess (Phoenix abscess) is an acute exacerbation of a chronic lesion
  • Subacute periapical abscess is a painful phase of a chronic periapical abscess cycle
  • Asymptomatic pulpoperiapical pathosis is characterized by a chronic apical periodontitis, which may result from pulp necrosis or an acute apical periodontitis that has dissipated
