The diagnostic information obtained from pulpal testing is then used alongside a patient's history, clinical and radiographic findings to determine a diagnosis and prognosis of the tooth. Pulp tests are useful for the following procedures in dentistry: diagnosis of endodontic pathology, localisation of tooth pain,
Endodontics encompasses the study (practice) of the basic and clinical sciences of normal dental pulp, the etiology, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases and injuries of the dental pulp along with associated periradicular conditions.
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.
Thus, it is recommended to take screening radiographs to detect for OIERR as indicated, use light forces especially for intrusive movements, and perform endodontic treatment if needed. However, due to the lack of robust evidence in treatment of other forms of external root resorption, there is currently no single recommended best treatment for ...
Diagnosis typically involves a clinical examination by a dentist or endodontist, complemented by imaging studies such as cone-beam computed tomography. Radiographically, condensing osteitis presents as a localized radiopaque lesion at the root apex of the affected tooth. [7] Root canal treatment by Endodontist
The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to dentistry and oral health: . Dentistry – branch of medicine that is involved in the study, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases, disorders and conditions of the oral cavity, maxillofacial area and the adjacent and associated structures and their impact on the human body.
Combined periodontic-endodontic lesions are localized, circumscribed areas of bacterial infection originating from either dental pulp, periodontal tissues surrounding the involved tooth or teeth or both.
Pulp necrosis is a clinical diagnostic category indicating the death of cells and tissues in the pulp chamber of a tooth with or without bacterial invasion. [1] It is often the result of many cases of dental trauma, caries and irreversible pulpitis.
