Q

thermal test: false negative response

A
  • excessive calcification
  • immature apex
  • recent trauma
  • recent premedication
20
Q

thermal test: within normal limits (mild to moderate transient response)

A
  • degree of awareness
  • slight pain that subsides within 1-2 secs after stimulus is removed
21
Q

thermal test: strong, momentary response

A
  • painful response that subsided within 1-2 secs after stimulus has been removed
  • e.g. reversible pulpitis
22
Q

thermal test: moderate to strong response

A
  • painful response that lingers for several secs or longer after stimulus has been removed (more than 5 secs)
  • e.g. irreversible pulpitis
23
Q

disadvantage of EPT

A
  • only info you can get is whether the tooth is vital or non-vital
  • has to be used in adjunct with other diagnostic aids
24
Q

responses to EPT

A
  • positive response
  • negative response
  • false positive response
  • false negative response
25
Q

EPT: false positive response

A
  • (+) response but tooth is non-vital
  • patient anxiety
  • wet tooth (to gingiva)
  • metallic restorations (to adjacent tooth)
  • liquefaction necrosis
26
Q

EPT: false negative response

A
  • (-) response but tooth is vital
  • premedication (drugs/alcohol)
  • immature teeth
  • trauma
  • poor contact w tooth
  • inadequate conductor (toothpaste)
  • partial necrosis with vital pulp remaining in apical portion of root
  • atrophied pulp
  • high pain thresholds
27
Q

percussion: pain

A
  • mild tenderness
  • moderate pain
  • severe pain
28
Q

percussion: interpretation

A

shows if PDL is inflamed/periapical involvement

29
Q

percussion: what is recorded

A

reaction and intensity of pain

30
Q

palpation: pain

A
  • mild tenderness
  • moderate pain
  • severe pain
31
Q

palpation: interpretation

A

shows if periodontal inflammation has reached the periosteum

32
Q

pocket probing: interpretation

A

shows attachment loss

33
Q

pocket probing: importance

A

essential in distinguishing between disease of periodontal or pulpal origin

34
Q

tooth mobility test: interpretation

A

shows integrity of attachment apparatus

35
Q

pulpal diagnoses

A
  • normal pulp
  • reversible pulpitis
  • symptomatic irreversible pulpitis
  • asymptomatic irreversible pulpitis
  • pulp necrosis
  • previously treated
  • previously initiated therapy
36
Q

normal pulp

A
  • symptoms: none
  • pulp testing response: normal
  • pain: felt only a few secs (1-2) after test
37
Q

teeth to examine during diagnostic tests

A
  • contralateral
  • adjacent
  • offending
38
Q

reversible pulpitis

A
  • symptoms: discomfort when cold or sweet stimulus is applied
  • pulp testing response: 1-2 secs
  • pain: short but not spontaneous
  • radiograph: no significant radiographic change
  • etiology: exposed dentin, caries, deep restoration
39
Q

symptomatic irreversible pulpitis

A
  • symptoms: painful tooth and inflamed pulp; influenced by postural change
  • pulp testing response: sharp pain
  • pain: 30 secs or more, unprovoked; spontaneous/referred
  • radiograph: may or may not have radiographic changes
  • etiology: deep caries, extensive restoration, fractures exposing pulpal tissues
40
Q

asymptomatic irreversible pulpitis

A
  • symptoms: none; usually very damaged teeth
  • pulp testing response: normal
  • pain: none
  • etiology: trauma or deep caries followed by exposure
41
Q

asymptomatic irreversible pulpitis: 3 conditions

A
  • teeth is calcified
  • internal resorption
  • pulp polyp/chronic hyperplastic pulpitis
42
Q

apical diagnoses

A
  • normal apical tissues
  • symptomatic apical periodontitis
  • asymptomatic apical periodontitis
  • chronic apical abscess
  • acute apical abscess
  • condensing osteitis
43
Q

anatomical considerations before starting root canal preparation

A
  • (canals) may divide, rejoin and possess lateral ramifications
  • apical foramen lies several mm away from the end of the roots
  • roots may posses an additional canal
  • all canals are curved especially in the apical 3rd
  • in flattened and curved roots, canal may lie closer to the bifurcation side of the root
44
Q

features of an ideal preparation

A
  • minimal enlargement of apical foramen
  • creation of even, progressive taper from apical stop to stop pulp chamber following natural curvature of canal
  • provision of apical stop at the end of the canal
  • adequate cleaning of canal at optimum working length
45
Q

most commonly used intracanal irrigant

A

sodium hypochlorite (5.2%)

46
Q

criteria for obturation

A
  1. asymptomatic tooth
  2. intact seal (temporary filling)
  3. dryable canal
  4. no foul odor
  5. no sinus tract (gum boil, fistula) if previously present
  6. properly flared/shaped canal
  7. negative culture result
