Pulpitis

Pulpitis is inflammation of the pulp caused by a cavity or other trauma, and often signaled by a painful toothache. The pulp contains the blood vessels the nerves and connective tissue inside a tooth and provides the tooth’s blood and nutrients. Pulpitis is mainly caused by bacteria infection which itself is a secondary development of caries (tooth decay). Pulpitis is inflammation of the dental pulp resulting from untreated caries, trauma, or multiple restorations. Its principal symptom is pain. Diagnosis is based on clinical findings and is confirmed by x-ray. Treatment involves removing decay, restoring the damaged tooth, and sometimes doing root canal therapy or extracting the tooth. Pulpitis can occur when it Caries progresses deeply into the dentin, A tooth requires multiple invasive procedures, Trauma disrupts the lymphatic and blood supply to the pulp
Pulpitis is designated as: Reversible: Pulpitis begins as limited inflammation, and the tooth can be saved by a simple filling, Irreversible: Swelling inside the rigid encasement of the dentin compromises circulation, making the pulp necrotic, which predisposes to infection.
