If the pulp infection is not treated in time, it can also spread to the periapical tissue through the apical foramen, causing periapical inflammation, and even developing into maxillofacial inflammation. So, what is the treatment of pulpitis? Now let's have a detailed understanding!
What treatment method does pulpitis have?
Treatment 1: due to the lack of adequate collateral circulation, once the pulp is inflamed, it can not be eliminated by itself. It is necessary to remove the pulp to relieve the symptoms, and the infection in the pulp cavity needs to be removed, and then the biocompatible materials are used to fill and seal the root canal to prevent reinfection. The most widely used method in clinical practice is root canal therapy. Through timely and effective treatment, the teeth can be preserved. But if the treatment is not timely, the infection will spread further, causing periapical inflammation, and even eventually lead to the loss of dental organs.
Treatment 2: preserve vital pulp or teeth, emergency treatment can open pulp decompression, warm saline irrigation, placed analgesic drugs in caries cavity, can temporarily relieve pain, at the same time take anti-inflammatory, analgesic drugs, pain relief after 1-2 days, depending on the specific situation of the teeth: ① vital pulpotomy; ② Pulp planing; ③ Pulp molding or root canal therapy. The teeth without reservation value can be extracted.
Treatment 3: some teeth have congenital defects, such as lingual groove, which is a common deformity of maxillary lateral incisor. The fissure can directly lead to the pulp cavity, leading to the entry of bacteria; There will be a deformed central point on the surface of the tooth, because of its protruding or weak, it is easy to break or be worn to expose the pulp, causing pulp inflammation.
