How to keep dental pulp?

summary

I believe everyone knows more or less about the oral cavity, especially for those who need to extract the nerve from the tooth due to pulp necrosis. If the nerve is removed from the tooth, it is equivalent to an empty shell, referred to as "dead tooth". A lot of people are not cured after a long time, it's not because they can't be cured, but because they don't understand. Let's introduce how to keep dental pulp?.

How to keep dental pulp?

First: at present, pulp preservation and pulp regeneration are new hot topics in the field of dental pulp. The increasing number of papers confirms that these two methods may be one of the development directions of replacing root canal therapy in the future. That is to say, the theoretical basis of living pulp preservation is that it is a very long process from infection to complete necrosis of pulp, which means that there are still healthy tissues remaining when the disease progresses.

Second, regeneration of dental pulp has the functions of feeling, resisting and nourishing teeth. Root canal therapy is to completely remove dental pulp, so the functions of these dental pulp are also removed. In fact, it is a destructive treatment method. From the perspective of vital pulp preservation, root canal therapy may not be a perfect solution, but more helpless, Because the current clinical technology can not accurately determine which parts of the pulp are healthy and which are infected, which increases the difficulty of pulp preservation based on the existing clinical technology.

Third, this is the gap between root canal therapy and vital pulp preservation. On one side, the pulp is removed regardless of the infection. The other side is to determine which part of the pulp should be removed according to the clinical status, so as to retain the function of the pulp. In a word, no matter root canal therapy or pulp preservation or pulp regeneration is to preserve teeth, the specific treatment plan is affected by many factors.

matters needing attention

After careful maintenance, the X-ray follow-up showed that the tooth was normal, the periapical area returned to normal, the tooth could be used normally, and everything was normal. This case also confirmed the research of many scholars, vital pulp preservation is feasible in clinical practice, but to completely replace root canal therapy needs more research support, few people can do it.
