INTRODUCTION Teeth with irreversible pulpitis usually undergo root canal therapy (RCT). This treatment modality is often considered disadvantageous as it removes vital pulp tissue and weakens the tooth structure. A relatively new concept has risen which suggests vital pulp therapy (VPT) for irreversible pulpitis. VPT with calcium enriched mixture (VPT/CEM) has demonstrated favorable treatment o...

The present study tested the hypothesis that the amount and severity of preoperative pain will affect the anesthetic efficacy of inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) in patients with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis. One-hundred seventy-seven adult volunteer subjects, actively experiencing pain in a mandibular molar, participated in this prospective double-blind study carried out at 2 differen...

INTRODUCTION Differentiation between reversible pulpitis (savable pulp) and irreversible inflammation of the pulp tissue (nonsavable pulp) based only on clinical and radiographic diagnoses has proven to be difficult. Pulp exposure allows for the collection of pulpal blood to quantitatively determine the level of inflammation markers or proteolytic enzymes, even with small samples. Pulpitis is a...

Irreversible pulpitis and apical periodontitis are inflammatory diseases caused by opportunistic bacteria with possible co-infection with latent herpesviruses. The objectives of this study are to identify herpesviruses, including human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), herpes simplex virus (HSV-1), and Varicella zoster virus (VZV) in patients with irreversible pulpitis (n = 29) ...

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...

Aim To investigate attitudes and approaches of UK primary care dentists to carrying out vital pulp treatment (VPT) after carious exposure with additional signs symptoms indicative irreversible pulpitis. Methodology An electronic questionnaire was openly distributed via publicly funded (NHS) local dental committees, corporate service-providers, professional societies social media. Principally NH...
