  2. Taurodontism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taurodontism

    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. The full ...

  3. Tooth gemination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth_gemination

    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]

  4. Pulp (tooth) - Wikipedia

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

    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] Because of the continuous deposition of the dentine, the pulp chamber becomes smaller with the age. This is not uniform ...

  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. 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 ...

  7. Dentinogenesis imperfecta - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dentinogenesis_imperfecta

    Preventive efforts can limit pathology occurring within the pulp, which may render future endodontic procedures less challenging, with better outcomes. Challenges are associated with root canal treatment of teeth affected by DI due to pulp chamber and root canal obliteration, or narrowing of such spaces.

  8. Apexification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apexification

    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; Remnants of the pulp are then removed using barbed broaches and files; The canal is flushed with hydrogen peroxide to remove debris ...

  9. 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 ...
