0) Introduction 00:00.
We talk about the causes and treatment of pulpitis in this Dentalk from Clínica Médico Dental Pardiñas ([ Ссылка ]).
1) What is pulpitis? 00:21.
Pulpitis is an inflammation of the dental pulp or nerve, which is the vascular and nervous component inside the tooth. It produces pain when faced with stimuli such as cold, heat, pressure and chewing, although in some cases it can trigger continuous pain.
2) What is the pulp of the tooth? 00:38.
The pulp is the soft tissue that contains the nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue of the teeth. It is located inside it and is covered by dentin and enamel, two protective layers.
3) Types of pulpitis 01:01.
The pulp can be damaged like other tissues in the body, leading to two types of ailments:
3a) Reversible pulpitis 01:07.
Reversible pulpitis usually presents as a sharp pain that remains for a moment and disappears, usually due to a cold stimulus. It is a mild inflammation of the pulp due to agents that damage the pulp such as deep cavities, dental erosion, fillings near the nerve, superficial fracture in the teeth or sensitivity.
3aa) How to treat reversible pulpitis 02:10.
This type of pulpitis is reversible and the treatment will consist of eliminating the cause that triggered said inflammation of the pulp. The solution usually involves performing a filling or restoration with composite in general terms 👉 [ Ссылка ].
3b) Irreversible pulpitis 02:35.
We speak of irreversible pulpitis when there is intense and definitive inflammation of the dental pulp. It usually causes intense and very constant pain. It is caused by a very deep caries, by a causative stimulus that is not eliminated in time or by a limitation in the blood supply to the pulp.
3ba) Treatment of irreversible pulpitis 03:37.
The pulp cannot be recovered if it has been irreversibly affected. Therefore, the only solution is to perform a root canal or root canal treatment. Tooth extraction will have to be performed in cases where the destruction is so great and the tooth cannot be restored 👉 [ Ссылка ].
