The purpose of the study was to histologically analyse transition from pulpitis to periapical periodontitis on dog's teeth. Pulps of mandibular premolars (37 roots) were exposed using a low-speed handpiece. Teeth were left open to the oral environment for 20, 35, 50 and 65 days. After the experimental period animals were sacrificed. Undemineralised teeth with surrounding bone, embedded in methy...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to determine the pain associated with needle insertion (with or without topical anesthetic) and solution deposition for the long buccal nerve block injection in patients with irreversible pulpitis. Initial pain and any differences by age and gender were also studied. STUDY DESIGN One hundred twelve emergency patients with irreversible pulpitis received...

abstract   squamous cell carcinoma (scc) is the most common malignant tumors of oral cavity. the ratio of men to women is about 2: 1. generally, it   is admitted that 60% of carcinoma of the mandibular gingival are located in the posterior of premolars. gingiva is one of the less common sites of oral squamous cell carcinoma (oscc). due to the variable clinical and behavioral presentations, it c...

This is a retrospective clinical study of 360 teeth diagnosed with pulpitis and treated locally with a combination of three antibacterial drugs (ciprofloxacin, metronidazole and minocycline, “3Mix-MP”) without a pulpectomy procedure. Consecutive patients with a clinical diagnosis of pulpitis had pre-operative factors collected (spontaneous pain, pulp exposure, depth of carious lesion) and were ...

Many studies have examined the pattern of various analgesics and antibiotics prescribed by primary care dental practitioners to treat irreversible pulpitis. To determine the pattern of medicines for irreversible pulpitis among undergraduate dental students, a cross sectional survey seeking mock medications based on dental scenarios of irreversible pulpitis for child, pregnant woman and apical p...

The objective of this equivalency study was to see if a colony of Streptococcus mutans placed into cavities in primary molar teeth produced pulpitis similar to an established pulpitis induction method using carious dentine. In two juvenile baboons (Papio ursinus), occlusal cavities were cut in all 16 primary molar teeth, followed by making a small pulpal exposure after which the cavity was swab...

BACKGROUND The aims of this study were to assess symptoms and signs caused by cracks in teeth and to assess a conservative management protocol. METHODS The symptoms and signs of 100 consecutive teeth that had reversible pulpitis associated with cracks were compared to findings from other reports. Teeth were managed with a conservative protocol which involved removal of cracks, caries and rest...

Streptococcus mutans is a major pathogen of dental caries. Collagen-binding proteins (CBPs) (approximately 120 kDa), termed Cnm and Cbm, are regarded as important cell surface antigens related to the adherence of S. mutans to collagenous tissue. Furthermore, CBP-positive S. mutans strains are associated with various systemic diseases involving bacteremia, such as infective endocarditis. Endodon...

BACKGROUND Irreversible pulpitis is a highly painful inflammatory condition of the dental pulp which represents a common dental emergency. Recommended care is partial endodontic treatment. The dental literature reports major difficulties in achieving adequate analgesia to perform this emergency treatment, especially in the case of mandibular molars. In current practice, short-course, orally adm...

Radiograph plays the major role of diagnosis, treatment and surgery in Dental field. There are many types Intra extra oral radiographs which Panoramic helps visualising full view cavity. Pulpitis is dental diseases caused due to inflammation pulp from untreated caries, trauma or multiple restorations leads Apical Periodontitis. To predict severity vitality has be evaluated. Radiographs dentist ...
