What is pulpitis and periodontitis?
Pulpitis is an inflammation of the dental pulp (the nerve and vascular tissue inside the tooth) caused by bacteria, most often as a result of tooth decay. If pulpitis is not treated promptly, the inflammation can spread to surrounding tissues and lead to periodontitis.
- Pulpitis: Inflammation accompanied by severe pain, which may intensify at night or when the tooth is exposed to cold or hot substances.
- Periodontitis: This is a complication of pulpitis when the inflammation extends beyond the tooth and affects the periodontal tissues. With periodontitis, patients often experience pain when pressing on the tooth and swelling of the gums.
Causes of pulpitis and periodontitis
The main causes of pulpitis and periodontitis are:
- Caries: Deep caries can lead to the penetration of bacteria into the pulp, causing its inflammation.
- Mechanical damage: Tooth injuries such as chips or fractures can allow infection to enter the pulp.
- Poor quality treatment: Poor or delayed treatment of caries and other dental problems can also cause inflammation of the pulp and periodontal tissues.
How are pulpitis and periodontitis treated at Veda Stom?
Treatment of pulpitis and periodontitis at the Veda Stom clinic is carried out in several stages, ensuring complete elimination of inflammation and preserving the tooth.
- Diagnostics. The doctor examines the oral cavity and takes X-rays of the tooth to determine the extent of tissue damage. An accurate diagnosis is necessary to select the optimal treatment method.
- Removal of inflamed pulp. In cases of pulpitis, the dentist removes the inflamed dental pulp to stop further inflammation. In cases of periodontitis, root canal cleaning is also performed to remove the infection.
- Channel processing. The tooth canals are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected to eliminate all traces of infection. Special instruments and antiseptic solutions are used for this purpose.
- Root canal filling. After cleaning, the canals are filled with special materials that prevent reinfection and ensure a seal. This is an important step, as improper filling can lead to recurrence.
- Restoration of the tooth crown. After root canal treatment, the tooth requires restoration to restore its functionality and aesthetic appearance. Depending on the extent of damage, the dentist may install a filling or a crown.
