In tooth gemination, the pulp chambers and root canals tend to be joined, unlike in tooth fusion where they tend to be separate. However, the degree of separation will depend on the stage of tooth development when the gemination occurred, so the pulp chamber and/or root canal may or may not be involved. [1]
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]
Root canal treatment (also known as endodontic therapy, endodontic treatment, or root canal therapy) is a treatment sequence for the infected pulp of a tooth that is intended to result in the elimination of infection and the protection of the decontaminated tooth from future microbial invasion.
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 ...
Regenerative endodontic procedures [1] is defined as biologically based procedures designed to replace damaged structures such as dentin, root structures, and cells of the pulp-dentin complex. [2] This new treatment modality aims to promote normal function of the pulp. It has become an alternative to heal apical periodontitis.
The following steps are included in this procedure: [10] The affected tooth is isolated using rubber dam; An access opening is made to reach the pulp chamber; A file is placed in the root canal and a radiograph is taken to establish the root length. Care should be taken to avoid pushing instruments through the apex
Visual of tooth decay. Pulpotomy is a minimally invasive procedure performed in children on a primary tooth with extensive caries but without evidence of root pathology. [1] The minimally invasive, endodontic techniques of vital pulp therapy (VPT) are based on improved understanding of the capacity of pulp tissues to heal and regenerate plus the availability of advanced endodontic materials.
Where, A = the lowest point of the pulp chamber roof, B = the highest point of the pulp chamber floor, and C = the longest root’s apex. Using this formula, a tooth is a taurodont if the landmark ratio is ≥ 0.2 and the distance from the highest point of the pulp chamber floor (B) to the cemento-enamel junction (D) is ≥ 2.5 mm.
