Pulp Cavities of the Maxillary Teeth Dental Anatomy Pulp Cavity .د ن س Lec.16 Pulp cavities The dental pulp is the soft tissue of the tooth. The pulp occupies the internal cavities or spaces of the tooth which includes the pulp camber and the pulp canal (root canal). The shape of the pulp cavities correspond to the external outline form of the tooth (the shape of the pulp chamber corresponds to the shape of the crown whereas the shape of the pulp canal corresponds to the shape of the roots). The size of the pulp cavity depends on the age of the tooth and the history of trauma. At the apical end of the root there is an opening, through which the neurovascular bundle enters the pulp, called apical foramen. Pulp horns are projections or prolongations of the pulp in the roof of the pulp chamber that corresponds to the major cusps or lobes of the crown. Pulp cavities of the maxillary teeth: Max. central incisor: The pulp chamber is very narrow labiolingually and wide mesiodistally. In cross section, the pulp chamber is triangular in outline with the base of the triangle at the labial aspect. Max. lateral incisor: Pulp chamber anatomy is similar to that of central. In cross section, it may be triangular, oval or rounded. Max. canine: Pulp chamber is narrower mesiodistally than labiolingually. In cross section, the shape of the pulp space is oval. ١ Dental Anatomy Pulp Cavity Max. first premolar: It has two canals usually but may have one canal. The pulp chamber is kidney shape in cross section. Max. second premolar: It has one canal usually but may have two canals. The pulp chamber is oval shape in cross section. Max. first molar: It has three canals (mesiobuccal, distobuccal and palatal). The pulp chamber is rhomboidal shape in cross section. Max. second molar: It has three canals (mesiobuccal, distobuccal and palatal). Pulp chamber anatomy is similar to that of max. first molar but the chamber is much smaller in mesiodistal section. Pulp cavities of manmandddd.. Teeth: Mand. Central incisor: It has one canal usually but it may have two canals. The pulp cavity is narrow mesiodistally and wide labiolingually. In cross section the pulp chamber may be round, oval or elliptical in shape. Mand. Lateral incisor: Similar to the central but larger in size. Mand. Canine: The pulp cavity is similar in size and shape to that of max. canine but tends to be a little shorter. In cross section, it is oval in shape. Mand. First premolar: ٢ Dental Anatomy Pulp Cavity This tooth mostly has one canal, but two canals are possible. The pulp horn of the buccal cusp is prominent but that of the lingual cusp is usually small or completely absent. In cross section, the pulp cavity may be round or elliptical. Mand. Second premolar: It mostly has one canal. The pulp horns are more prominent than first premolar. In cross section, the pulp cavity may be rectangular or oval. Mand. First molar: This tooth has usually three canals; the mesial root has two canals while the distal root has one large canal and sometimes has two small canals. In cross section the pulp chamber is quadrilateral in shape. MaMaMand.Ma nd. Second molar: Similar to that of mand. First molar. ات Occlusion: Occlusion refers to any contact relationship between maxillary and mandibular teeth during function. The arch form of maxilla tends to be larger than that of mandible, this results in the maxillary teeth overhanging the mandibular teeth when the teeth are in centric occlusion (the position of maximal intercuspation). ٣ Dental Anatomy Pulp Cavity During the maximum intercuspation, the mesiolingual cusp of the maxillary molars occludes with the central fossa of the mandibular molars. Occlusion in decidudeciduousous teeth Each tooth occludes with two teeth of the apposing jaw except mandibular central incisor and maxillary second molar. Occlusion in permanent teeth With the exception of mandibular incisors and maxillary third molars, each tooth contacts two antagonist teeth in the apposing arch. ٤ .

MSCs are isolated from various organs including dental pulp, which originates from cranial neural crest-derived ectomesenchyme. Recently, dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) and stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHEDs) have been isolated from dental pulp tissue of adult permanent teeth and deciduous teeth, respectively. Because of their MSC-like characteristics such as high growth capacity, multipotency, expression of MSC-related markers, and immunomodulatory effects, they are suggested to be an important cell source for tissue regeneration.

  • Primary Tooth Vital Pulp Therapy By: Aman Bhojani
    Primary Tooth Vital Pulp Therapy By: Aman Bhojani Introduction • The functions of primary teeth are: mastication and function, esthetics, speech development, and maintenance of arch space for permanent teeth. • Accepted endodontic therapy for primary teeth can be divided into two categories: vital pulp therapy (VPT) and root canal treatment (RCT). The goal of VPT in primary teeth is to treat reversible pulpal injuries and maintaining pulp vitality. • The most important factor that affects the success of VPT is the vitality of the pulp, and the vascularization which is necessary for the function of odontoblasts. • VPT includes three approaches: indirect pulp capping, direct pulp capping, and pulpotomy. Indirect Pulp Capping • Recommended for teeth that have deep carious lesions and no signs of or symptoms of pulp degeneration. • The premise of the treatment is to leave a few viable bacteria in the deeper dentine layers, and when the cavity has been sealed, these bacteria will be inactivated. Based on the studies, after partial caries removal, when using calcium hydroxide or ZOE, there was a dramatic reduction in the CFU of bacteria. • The success of indirect pulp capping has been reported to be over 90%; hence this approach can be used for symptom-free primary teeth provided that a proper leakage free restoration can be placed. Direct Pulp Capping (DPC) • Used when healthy pulp has been exposed mechanically/accidentally during operative procedures. The injured tooth must be asymptomatic and free of oral contaminants. The procedure involves application of a bioactive material to stimulate the pulp to make tertiary dentine at the site of exposure.

  • Tooth Anatomy
    Tooth Anatomy To understand some of the concepts and terms that we use in discussing dental conditions, it is helpful to have a picture of what these terms represent. This picture is from the American Veterinary Dental College. Pulp Dentin Crown Enamel Gingiva Root Periodontal Ligament Alveolar Bone supporting the tooth Crown: The portion of the tooth projecting from the gums. It is covered by a layer of enamel, though dentin makes up the bulk of the tooth structure. The crown is the working part of the tooth. In dogs and cats, most teeth are conical or pyramidal in shape for cutting and shearing action. Gingiva: The gum tissue surrounds the crown of the tooth and protects the root and bone which are subgingival (below the gum line). The gingiva is the first line of defense against periodontal disease. The space where the gingiva meets the crown is where periodontal pockets develop. Measurements are taken here with a periodontal probe to assess the stage of periodontal disease. When periodontal disease progresses it can involve the Alveolar Bone, leading to bone loss and root exposure. Root Canal: The root canal contains the pulp. This living tissue is protected by the crown and contains blood vessels, nerves and specialized cells that produce dentin. Dentin is produced throughout the life of the tooth, which causes the pulp canal to narrow as pets age. Damage to the pulp causes endodontic disease which is painful, and can lead to infection and loss of the tooth. Periodontal Ligament: This tissue is what connects the tooth root to the bone to keep it anchored to its socket.

  • Root Canal Treatment
    Root Canal Treatment Following up on your dentist’s recommendations What is root canal treatment? Root canal treatment usually involves the removal of the tooth’s pulp, a small thread-like tissue that was important for tooth development. The pulp is the soft tissue that contains the blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissue of a tooth. It lies in a canal that runs through the center of the dentin – the hard tissue on the inside of the tooth that supports the outer layer of tooth enamel. The crown (the portion of the tooth visible above the gums) contains the pulp chamber. The pulp extends from this chamber down through the root canal to the tip of the root that lies in the bone of the jaws. Teeth have only one pulp chamber but may have more than one root and several root canals. Why might the dental pulp need to be removed? If the pulp is diseased or injured and unable to repair itself, it loses its vitality. The most common causes of pulp death are a deep cavity, a crack, or traumatic injury to the tooth, all of which can allow bacteria and their products to leak into the pulp. If the injured or diseased pulp is not removed the tissues surrounding the root of the tooth can become infected and an abscess can form, resulting in pain and swelling. Even if there is no pain, certain substances released by bacteria can damage the cone that anchors the tooth in the jaw. Without treatment, the tooth may have to be removed.

Therefore, the aim of the present systematic review was to compare pulpotomy agents to establish a preferred material to use. Methods: After raising a PICO question, the PRISMA guideline was adopted to carry out an electronic search through the MEDLINE database to identify comparative studies on several pulp dressing agents, published up to October 2019. Results: The search resulted in 4274 records; after exclusion, a total of 41 papers were included in the present review. Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), Biodentine and ferric sulphate yielded good clinical results over time and might be safely used in the pulpotomies of primary molars.

  • Pulp Space Anatomy and Access Cavities
    Pulp Space Anatomy and Access Cavities Sumamry This lesson will help you to visualise where the root canal system is and will therefore aid your endodontic access. Key words¹ Orifice - the opening to the canal Overview It is essential to know the pulp space anatomy in order to achieve a high level of standard of endodontic treatment. Understanding access cavity design allows for conservative cavity preparation and prevents excessive tooth destruction. Magnification and enhanced illumination are extremely helpful during access cavity preparation and allow detailed examination of the pulp space. General pulp space anatomy The pulp space is split into two parts: Pulp chamber: within the crown ReviseDental.comThe outline follows the shape of the crown Root canal: within the root The outline follows the shape of the roots The canals have a similar tapering form to the roots Pulp space is surrounded by dentine Dentinal tubules make up 20-30% of the total volume of dentine² The concentration of tubules increase from the amelodentinal junction to the pulp Therefore the permeability of dentine is significantly larger closer to the pulp The tubules are an important reservoir for microorganisms and these microorganisms may persist even after root canal treatment Shape Since the roots tend to be broader buccolingually than they are mesiodistally, the pulp space is usually oval in cross-section Deposition of minerals With age, the pulp space becomes smaller, with an increase in deposition of fibrous and mineral components In response to irritation from caries, restorations or tooth wear, tertiary dentine is produced by odontoblasts. This causes the pulp space to become smaller and canal orifices difficult to locate The use of magnification and illumination will reveal the different colours of circumpulpal and tertiary dentine to aid access The pulp space is complex The root canals may divide and re-join Eight separate pulp space configurations were identified by Vertucci (1984)³ (See drawing below), however it is now known that even more categories also exist (Gulabivala).
