Endodontics: Part 3 Treatment of endodontic emergencies

Assessment of alternative emergency treatments for symptomatic irreversible pulpitis: a randomized clinical trial

“…Once the inflammation has spread throughout the pulp and has involved the periodontal ligament, the tooth becomes tender to bite on (Carotte 2004). In the present study, the total pulpectomy and partial pulpectomy procedures achieved significant reductions in chewing sensitivity substantially later than the pulpotomy procedure.…”

Association of endodontic lesions with coronary artery disease

“…Widened periapical spaces reflect either symptomatic teeth with irreversible pulpitis or precursors for established ELs in necrotic teeth (Carrotte 2004). In our study, the widened periapical spaces were more likely to reflect early apical lesions while patients were not actively seeking dental treatment.…”
