2. Pulp capping - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulp_capping

   Exposure of the pulp causes pulpitis (an inflammation which can become irreversible, leading to pain and pulp necrosis, and necessitating either root canal treatment or extraction). [1] The ultimate goal of pulp capping or stepwise caries removal is to protect a healthy (or reversibly inflammed) dental pulp, and avoid the need for root canal ...

3. Dental cement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_cement

   When a cavity reaches close proximity to the pulp chamber, it is advisable to protect the pulp from further insult by placing a base or liner as a means of insulation from the definitive restoration. Cements indicated for liners and bases include: Zinc oxide eugenol; Zinc polycaroxylate; Resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC)

4. Dental material - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_material

   Root canal sealer used in endodontic therapy Biocompatibility refers to how well the material coexists with the biological equilibrium of the tooth and body systems. Since fillings are in close contact with mucosa, tooth, and pulp, biocompatibility is very important. Common problems with some of the current dental materials include chemical ...

5. Root canal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_canal

   Procedures for root canal. The space inside the root canals is filled with a highly vascularized, loose connective tissue, called dental pulp. The dental pulp is the tissue of which the dentin portion of the tooth is composed. The dental pulp helps complete formation of the secondary teeth (adult teeth) one to two years after eruption into the ...

6. Healing of periapical lesions - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Healing_of_periapical_lesions

   In 1890, W.D. Miller, considered the father of oral microbiology, was the first to associate pulpal disease with the presence of bacteria. [11] This was confirmed by Kakehashi, who, in 1965, proved that bacteria were the cause of pulpal and periradicular disease in studies using animal models; pulpal exposures were initiated in both normal and germ-free rats, and while no pathologic changes ...

7. Regenerative endodontics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regenerative_endodontics

   Conventional root canal therapy cleans and fills the pulp chamber with biologically inert material after destruction of the pulp due to dental caries, congenital deformity or trauma. Regenerative endodontics instead seeks to replace live tissue in the pulp chamber. The ultimate goal of regenerative endodontic procedures is to regenerate the ...
