Pulpitis Root

Root pulpitis (r. radicalis) is an inflammation of the dental pulp localized in the area of ​​the root canals.

Reasons for development:

1. deep caries reaching the pulp
2. tooth trauma (bruise, fracture)
3. chemical and thermal burns
4. impact of filling materials

Symptoms:

1. prolonged aching pain, aggravated by temperature stimuli
2. pain when percussing the tooth
3. swelling and hyperemia of the gums in the area of ​​the root apex

Diagnosis is based on the clinical picture, X-ray data, and electroodontodiagnosis.

Treatment consists of removing the infected pulp and performing endodontic treatment - expansion and obturation of the root canals. If conservative treatment is ineffective, tooth extraction is performed.
