Study Notes
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
Test your knowledge of pulpoperiapical pathosis classification and treatment with this quiz. Explore the symptoms and treatment options for symptomatic and asymptomatic pulpoperiapical diseases, including acute apical periodontitis and periapical abscesses.
