Pulpitis is an inflammation of the dental pulp or nerve. Here we talk about its causes and treatment. 0) Presentation 00:00. We talk about the causes and treatment of pulpitis in this Dentalk of the Clínica Médico Dental Pardiñas (http://j.mp/cPardinas). 1) What is pulpitis? 00:17. Pulpitis is an inflammation of the dental pulp or nerve, which is the vascular and nervous component inside the tooth. It produces pain in the face of stimuli such as cold, heat, pressure and chewing, although in some cases it can trigger continuous pain. 2) What is the pulp of the tooth? 00;34. The pulp is the soft tissue that contains the nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue of the teeth. It is located inside and is covered by dentin and enamel, two protective layers. 3) Types of pulpitis 00:56. The pulp can be damaged like other tissues in the body, leading to two types of nutrient: 3a) Reversible pulpitis 1:02. Reversible pulpitis usually presents as a sharp pain that lasts for a moment and disappears, usually due to a cold stimulus. It is a mild inflammation of the pulp due to agents that damage the pulp such as deep caries, dental erosion, fillings near the nerve, superficial fracture of the teeth or sensitivity. 3aa) How to treat reversible pulpitis 02:02. This type of pulpitis is reversible and the treatment will consist of eliminating the cause that triggered said inflammation of the pulp. The solution is usually to perform a filling or restoration with composite in general. 3b) Irreversible pulpitis 02:29. Irreversible pulpitis is when there is an intense and definitive inflammation of the dental pulp. This usually causes intense and very constant pain. It is caused by a very deep caries, by a causal stimulus that is not eliminated in time or by a limitation of the blood supply to the pulp. 3ba) Treatment of irreversible pulpitis 03:47. The pulp cannot be recovered if it has been irreversibly affected. The only solution is therefore to perform a root canal treatment or a root canal treatment. A tooth extraction will have to be performed in cases where the destruction is so significant and the tooth cannot be restored.
