The inflammatory process begins in the infected area near the carious cavity. Pulpitis most often occurs due to inflammation of the dental pulp and the penetration of pathogenic microbes. Then the microbes penetrate deep into the root pulp. In addition, this condition can be caused by dental trauma, as well as chemical or temperature factors.
The main symptom of the disease is severe toothache, which can be constant or periodic. The affected tooth is especially sensitive to sudden temperature changes.
Treatment of pulpitis begins with pulp removal and ends with canal filling. Various technologies are used to seal the root canal. In conservative treatment methods, it is possible to preserve the vitality of the pulp.
During treatment, special attention should be paid to the medicinal treatment of the cavity. Antiseptics, antibiotics, and proteolytic enzymes are commonly used. However, alcohol, ether, and other strong substances are best avoided. The main stage of treatment includes the application of a special paste to the bottom of the cavity. This medical product has anti-inflammatory properties and enhances tissue regeneration.
In addition to filling, specialists also perform restoration of the tooth's color and shape. Only high-quality photopolymer materials are used for this. These materials provide a color that matches the natural tooth. To prevent the wearing of adjacent teeth and improper bite formation, experienced specialists restore the shape of the chewing surface, which plays an important role in proper food chewing.
As a result of poorly installed fillings or pulpitis complications, periodontitis may develop, which is usually treated in three stages. First, the poorly filled canal is reopened. Leading clinics use specialized instruments and medications for this. These tools allow for the breakdown of materials inside the canals. This operation is performed under the control of a special device that monitors the entire process of navigating the tooth canal.
