  2. Dentin dysplasia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dentin_dysplasia

    Abnormalities of the pulp chamber is the main characteristic to make a definitive diagnosis. [ 15 ] [ 16 ] In the primary teeth, coronal dentin dysplasia may appear similar to Dentinogenesis Imperfecta type II (DG-II) but if abnormalities features appear to be more pronounced in the permanent teeth, then consider changing the diagnosis to DGI ...

  3. Toothache - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toothache

    The symptoms of reversible pulpitis may disappear, either because the noxious stimulus is removed, such as when dental decay is removed and a filling placed, or because new layers of dentin (tertiary dentin) have been produced inside the pulp chamber, insulating against the stimulus. Irreversible pulpitis causes spontaneous or lingering pain in ...

  4. Dental trauma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_trauma

    In developing teeth, preserve pulp vitality by pulp capping or partial pulpotomy using calcium hydroxide In mature teeth, root canal treatment is usually performed Non-emergency: removal of loose fragment (following gingivectomy, surgery or via orthodontics), root canal treatment and restoration with post-retained crown

  5. Dental pulp test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_pulp_test

    When pulp testing results are inconclusive and that patients cannot localise or specify the pain or symptoms, an anaesthetic would be helpful and be used. The most posterior tooth in the area where the pain resonates undergoes anaesthesia by either infiltration or intraligamentary injection until pain diminishes.

  6. 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 ...

  7. Pulp (tooth) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulp_(tooth)

    The pulp is the neurovascular bundle central to each tooth, permanent or primary.It is composed of a central pulp chamber, pulp horns, and radicular canals. The large mass of the pulp is contained within the pulp chamber, which is contained in and mimics the overall shape of the crown of the tooth. [2]

  8. 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 ...

  9. Pulp necrosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulp_necrosis

    Pulp necrosis arises due to the cellular death within the pulp chamber – this can occur with or without the involvement of bacteria. [1] It is the result of various connective tissue disease progressions which occur in stages; normal healthy tissue becomes inflamed (i.e. pulpitis) which if left untreated leads to necrosis and infection and ...
