Disease of Pulp and Periradicular Tissue: An Overview

Abstract

Dental pain is the most common reason due to which patient seek dental treatment. Pain occur due to diseases involving pulp and periradicular tissues, as this tissues are richly innervated and have ample of blood supply. Also it is enclosed by surrounding tissues that are incapable of expanding, such as dentin and also has terminal blood flow and small-gauge circulatory access the periapex. All of these characteristics severely constrain the defensive capacity of the pulp tissue when faced with the different aggressions it may be subjected to. In addition to above mentioned characterstics, pulp tissue can also be affected by a retrograde infection, arising from the secondary canaliculi, from the periodontal ligament or from the apex during the course of periodontitis. this review article basically concentrates on structure of pulp, classification of diseases related to pulp and periradicular tissue and detailed explanation of diseases

Multiple Residual Roots Extractions and Etiopathogenesis of Associated Periapical Lesion: A Surgical Case Report

“…Therefore, root-filling materials with anti-inflammatory properties like mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) may counteract the development of radicular cysts and should be analyzed further in preclinical studies (Galler et al, 2021). Likewise, Singh et al, (2020)…”

Pediatric Patient with Chronic Hyperplastic Pulpitis: Case Report and Pathology Overview

“…Histologically, Singh et al, (2020) authenticate that the granulation tissue proliferates and becomes pink to reddish (depending on the degree of fibrosis), and sometimes appears covered by a stratified surface epithelium [15]. Although its incidence is low, numerous cases of this pathology have been reported in recent decades, especially in children, adults, and even infants [14].…”

“…Pulp polyp (PP) is a type of irreversible pulpitis that occurs more frequently in young teeth, also referred to as chronic hyperplastic pulpitis or proliferative pulpitis, refers to a tissue condition characterized by excessive tissue growth in the pulp chamber of the tooth and exophytic proliferation of granulation tissue with a pinkish-red color and fibrous consistency [14,15]. The color can be easily noticeable while the diagnosis is carried out by the professional.…”

“…If hyperplastic tissue grows beyond the cavity of the tooth, it appears as if the gum is growing into the cavity and the periapical radiograph shows a large open cavity with direct access to the pulp chamber [15]. This clinical case aimed to present a surgical traditional approach to extract a tooth diagnosed with a pulp pathology which is classified as a pulp polyp (PP) in a primary first molar.…”
