Endodontics
Endodontics is the branch of dentistry concerning dental pulp and tissues surrounding the roots of a tooth. Some of the signs of pulp inflammation are spontaneous pain, especially during sleep, pain relief on cold stimulus and pain during biting. Although, inflammation of the pulp without simptoms is more frequent so it is important to have regular controls at the dentist.
Eventhough use of implants offers possibility of rehabilitation of any form of edentuolous patients, it is still trying to heal teeth with inflamed pulp. It is always better to save any tooth that has a chance of staying in its place.
