Histology: What the the types of cells in the pulp and which is the most numerous?
Odontoblast, Fibroblast (most numerous), undifferential mesenchymal, inflammatory (such as lymph, macrophages, plasma, mast cells)
Histology: What are types of tissue are in the pulp?
CT, collagen: I, III, IV, vascular and neural tissue
What are the pulp zones?
Dentin–>predentin–>odotoblasts–>cell rich–>pulp proper
Types of dentin?
secondary: after root development
tertiary: reaction or reparative
Mantle: the first formed
Where are undifferentiated mesenchymal cells located within the pulp zones, and what do they help do to dentin?
Cell Rich Zone
Replace Odontoblasts when damaged which allows for reactionary/reparative dentin
How does the size of dentin tubules change as you approach the pulp?
increase in number and diameter
1-2 micron–>3-4 micron
10-25k –>30-52k/mm2
What size are bacteria?
<1 μm
Dentin is made up of?
45% inorganix, hydroxiapitits
33% organic: collagen and ground
22% H20
What is the theory of tooth sensitivity?
Brannstrom/hydrodynamic theory
What does the hydrodynamic theory describe?
nerve cells are “tugged” as a result of the moving liquid in the tubules.
Which nerves are stimulated during sensitivity?
A-Delta
Which way does liquid flow (per hydrodynamic theory) with heat?
In
Which way does liquid flow (per hydrodynamic theory) with COLD or AIR?
out
Is the in pull or the out pull in sensitivity a stronger response?
OUT = cold, air
What are the two broad types of innervation in the pulp?
Afferent(sensory) and Efferent
What are the names of the nerve fibers?
Afferent: A-Delta, A Beta, C
Efferent: C
Describe A-Delta nerves
large, mylenated, pain is quick sharp, shooting. They are fully formed at ~3-5 years,
Describe A-Beta Nerves
large, mylenated, few in #, transmit-awareness of light touch
Described C fibers (afferent)
Small UNmylenated. Transmit dull, delayed, ache, burning sensations
Describe Efferent C nerves
sympathetic, vasoconstriction
Does a pulp have proprioception?
no
For endo xrays, what kVp should you have it on?
63-70 kVp - low which produces a high contrast,
To increase the density on a radiograph….?
increase time
To increase contrast on a radiograph…?
decrease kVp
Can you have a apical pathosis without bacteria?
No, Kakehashi (1965)
What are the signs of multiple canals?
fast break (disappear), decreased density, uncrease ouline of the root, canal not centered
Internal resorption looks like ….. on xray?
enlarged vanal, canal not seen through lesion, symmetrical, well defined, centered with shift shot
External resorption looks like ….. on xray?
canal seen through lesion, asymetrical, poorly defined, shifts with shift shot.
What inhibits root resorption?
Osteoprotegerin (OPG)
Which inflammatory cells are blamed for resorption?
macrophage, osteoclast, IL-1
What kind of bacteria are found in symptomatic teeth?
Bacteriodes
What bacteria is found in Asymptomatic teeth?
Streptococci
A PARL or
Radicular Cyst arises from what cells?
Rests of malassez
If you take multiple angles of the same tooth, how does it change the diagnostic accuracy?
Up to 90% (Brynolf)
What is the only appropriate time to take a CBCT in endo?
per AAE/AAOMR, anatomical variations, evaluating non-healing, trauma, or resorptions
What are the laws of endo?
C3S2 CO3
Centrality, CEJ, Concentricity
Symmetry x2 (equidistance, and perpendicular from M-D line)
Color Change
Orifice Location x3 (junction of wall and floor, angles of floor wall junction, terminus of root development fusion lines)

How to determine WL?
estimate 0.5-1mm from radiograph. Mino contstiction. Using tactile, apex locator, paperpoint, patient sensation
What % is there a deviation from major foramina from the radiographic apex
92%
How does an apex locator work?
impedance of two frequencies, calculates the quotiont of the impedances, and expresses this quotient as a position of the files inside of the RC
resistence in file and lip clip/body become equal when the tip touches the PDL
At what distance is most deviations from the apex
0.59mm
What are the goals of cleaning and shaping?
total removal of pulp contents, develop straight line access, maintain central axis of canal, keep apical constriction small and in original position, continuously tapering smooth, funnel shaped preparations
What are the colors of files form 06-40
PGP - WYRBGBl
pink -6
gray -08
purple -10
white 15
yellow 20
red 25
blue 30
green 35
black 40
typical distance MB2 is from Mb2
1.8mm
the further the distance from MB2 the greater the chance it will be a Weine class III
Where is MB2 typically located
Slightly mesial to the line drawn between MB1 and P.
