Pulp diseases
This document discusses disease of the pulp, including classification and types. It describes reversible and irreversible pulpitis, with reversible pulpitis causing mild to moderate pain in response to stimuli that subsides after removal of the stimuli. Irreversible pulpitis causes persistent pain even after stimulus removal and can progress to pulp necrosis with total or partial death of the pulp. Other conditions discussed include chronic hyperplastic pulpitis, previously treated teeth, and teeth with previously initiated therapy.

Editor's Notes
- #4 เมื่อมีสิ่งกระตุ้นที่รุนแรงหรือกระตุ้นซ้ำๆเป็นเวลานานแล้วทำให้โพรงประสาทฟันเกิดการบาดเจ็บ โดยสิ่งกระตุ้นนั้นแบ่งเป็นสี่ประเภทใหญ่ๆคือ Mechanical damage เช่น Traumatic accident, Iatrogenic, Mechanical force irritation ( Attrition, Abrasion ) Thermal injury เช่น ความร้อนจากการกรอฟัน, วัสดุอุดฟันที่เป็นโลหะใหญ่ๆ Chemical irritation เช่น ของเปรี้ยว, ของหวาน, กรดที่ใช้ในทางทันตกรรม Bacterial effect เช่น toxin ของ bacteria เหล่านี้ทำให้เกิดการตอบสนองของโพรงประสาทฟันต่อสิ่งกระตุ้น คือ มีการกระตุ้น mast cell ให้หลั่ง cytokine เช่น histamine, bradykinin ทำให้เกิดการตอบสนองคือเกิด vasodilation, increase blood flow, มี vascular leakage ทำให้เกิด edema หากกำจัดสาเหตุออก ร่างกายจะมีการตอบสนองโดยการหายทำให้เนื้อเยื่อโพรงประสาทฟันกลับสู่ภาวะปกติได้ แต่หากสิ่งกระตุ้นยังคงกระตุ้นต่อไปจะทำให้เกิด injury และนำไปสู่การตายของ pulp Increase fluid pressure Increase interstitial pressure บริเวณที่มีการอักเสบทำให้เกิด Increase flow of fluid back into capillary and increase drainage
- #12 Reversible Pulpitis is based upon subjective and objective findings indicating that the inflammation should resolve and the pulp return to normal following appropriate management of the etiology. Discomfort is experienced when a stimulus such as cold or sweet is applied and goes away within a couple of seconds following the removal of the stimulus. Typical etiologies may include exposed dentin (dentinal sensitivity), caries or deep restorations. There are no significant radiographic changes in the periapical region of the suspect tooth and the pain experienced is not spontaneous. Following the management of the etiology (e.g. caries removal plus restoration; covering the exposed dentin), the tooth requires further evaluation to determine whether the “reversible pulpitis” has returned to a normal status. Although dentinal sensitivity per se is not an inflammatory process, all of the symptoms of this entity mimic those of a reversible pulpitis
- #13 Dental pulp exhibiting hyperemia and edema. The adjacent dentin was cut recently during placement of dental restoration
- #16 Symptomatic Irreversible Pulpitis is based on subjective and objective findings that the vital inflamed pulp is incapable of healing and that root canal treatment is indicated. Characteristics may include sharp pain upon thermal stimulus, lingering pain (often 30 seconds or longer after stimulus removal), spontaneity (unprovoked pain) and referred pain. Sometimes the pain may be accentuated by postural changes such as lying down or bending over and over-the-counter analgesics are typically ineffective. Common etiologies may include deep caries, extensive restorations, or fractures exposing the pulpal tissues. Teeth with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis may be difficult to diagnose because the inflammation has not yet reached the periapical tissues, thus resulting in no pain or discomfort to percussion. In such cases, dental history and thermal testing are the primary tools for assessing pulpal status. Asymptomatic Irreversible Pulpitis is a clinical diagnosis based on subjective and objective findings indicating that the vital inflamed pulp is incapable of healing and that root canal treatment is indicated. These cases have no clinical symptoms and usually respond normally to thermal testing but may have had trauma or deep caries that would likely result in exposure following removal.
- #17 Dental pulp exhibiting acute inflammatory infiltrate consisting predominantly of polymorphonuclear leukocyte
- #18 Dental pulp exhibiting acute inflammatory infiltrate consisting predominantly of polymorphonuclear leukocyte
- #19 Dental pulp exhibiting an area of fibrosis and chronic inflammation peripheral to zone of abscess formation
- #22 Chronic inflammation that produces hyperplastic granulation tissue that extrudes from chamber
- #25 Pulp Necrosis is a clinical diagnostic category indicating death of the dental pulp, necessitating root canal treatment. The pulp is non-responsive to pulp testing and is asymptomatic. Pulp necrosis by itself does not cause apical periodontitis (pain to percussion or radiographic evidence of osseous breakdown) unless the canal is infected. Some teeth may be nonresponsive to pulp testing because of calcification, recent history of trauma, or simply the tooth is just not responding. As stated previously, this is why all testing must be of a comparative nature (e.g. patient may not respond to thermal testing on any teeth)
- #29 Previously Treated is a clinical diagnostic category indicating that the tooth has been endodontically treated and the canals are obturated with various filling materials other than intracanal medicaments. The tooth typically does not respond to thermal or electric pulp testing.
- #30 Previously Initiated Therapy is a clinical diagnostic category indicating that the tooth has been previously treated by partial endodontic therapy such as pulpotomy or pulpectomy. Depending on the level of therapy, the tooth may or may not respond to pulp testing modalities.
