Patho Flashcards
1
Q
What sets the pulp up during disease
A
Low compliance system
Poor collateral circulation
Pulpal degeneration
Abundant oral bacteria
2
Q
What is the P response to a carious lesion
A
Sclerotic dentin; dead tracks
Reparative dentin
3
Q
what is the calcitotraumatic line
A
line formed by change in direction of production of dentin by odontoblasts after trauma
4
Q
What is reparative dentin
A
less tubular
5
Q
What is the initial response of the pulp to carious lesion
A
Chronic response
6
Q
What is the circumferential spread of inflammation
A
continued tissue destruction, movement of pressure from periphery to center and apical
venular collapse
ischemic necrosis
7
Q
What happens during complete necrosis
A
C-fibers might still be viable (a-lot of pain)
