Classification of pulpal diseases
1) Within normal limit_asymptomatic or mild to moderate transient pain subside after the stimulus is removed.tooth is not tender on percussion.
2) Reversible pulpitis_quick, sharp, hypersensitive response to the stimulus.that subside after the removal of the stimulus.
3) Irreversible pulpitis_
a) asymptomatic- hyper plastic pulpit is /pulp polyp or internal resorption.
b) symptomatic- spontaneous, unprovoked, intermittent or continuous pain, lingering pain to thermal stimulus.
Radiographs can help in identifying the tooth involved or widening of PDL space in advance stages.
4) Pulpal Necrosis-
a) partial necrosis-one or two canal is undergoing necrosis in a tooth with more than one canal. It can be symptomatic.
b) total necrosis- no symptoms , negative pulp vitality
It is a stage before it affects the periodontal ligament.
