The area surrounding the apex of a tooth root, often involved in dental issues.

Inflammation of the dental pulp, usually due to infection or trauma.

Common signs include severe toothache, sensitivity to temperature, and swelling.

Determination of pulpitis through clinical assessment and diagnostic tests.

A medication used to numb a specific area of the body to prevent pain during procedures.

Use of imaging techniques like X-rays to evaluate dental conditions.

Overview of causes, symptoms, and treatment options for pulpitis.

The process of gathering patient information to inform diagnosis and treatment.

An inflammatory condition of the dental pulp that leads to necrosis, often causing severe pain.

A long-term form of pulpitis where inflammation remains but with possible vital radicular pulp.

Includes spontaneous severe pain, especially at night, persistent throbbing pain, and sleep loss.

An assessment to determine the health of the pulp in response to stimuli.

Includes patient history, clinical examination, special tests, and radiological examination for pulpitis.

Involves checking symptoms like pain type, timing, and response to analgesics.

Shows extensive carious lesions indicating irreversible pulpitis, often seen in bitewing radiographs.

Based on provisional pulp status diagnosis to decide appropriate treatment for pulpitis.

The collection of patient information relevant to diagnosing conditions like pulpitis.

Physical examination methods used to assess dental conditions during diagnosis.

Tests such as thermal and electric pulp testing to evaluate tooth vitality.

A test that uses temperature changes to assess pulp sensitivity in teeth.

A diagnostic test using electrical stimulation to check tooth pulp vitality.

A method to determine if the pulp is alive using blood flow measurement techniques.

A specific type of dental X-ray used to view the upper and lower teeth in one area.

Common causes include caries, trauma, and perio-endo lesions.

Tooth decay resulting from bacterial infection, leading to pulpitis if untreated.

Physical injury to the tooth, which can provoke pulpitis.

A condition where both periodontal and endodontic tissues are affected, leading to pulpitis.

Symptoms may include pain, swelling, and sensitivity to temperature changes.

Process to identify pulpitis, including clinical exams and imaging.

Refers to how deep a dental filling goes, significant in assessing risk of pulpitis.

Afferent sensory nerves with slow conduction that are unmyelinated.

C-fibres have a diameter of 0.4-1.2 microns.

Reversible and irreversibile; conditions affecting dental pulp health.

Caused by caries or small fractures leading to mild pulp inflammation.

C-fibres elicit dull, lingering pain, responding to pain, temperature, and touch.

Bitewing radiographs show early carious lesions suggesting reversible pulpitis.

Four clinical signs: Calor (heat), Dolor (pain), Rubor (redness), Tumor (swelling).

One of the signs of inflammation indicating increased temperature.

A sign of inflammation indicating pain.

A sign of inflammation that means redness.

A sign of inflammation indicating swelling.

Afferent sensory nerves that conduct fast pain signals in pulp.

Confirmed through clinical signs and nerve stimulation tests.
