Thank you for posting a great lecture. Please add 'previously initiated,' ' previously treated' to pulpal diagnosis, and 'condensing osteitis' to periapical diagnosis.
Hello, thank you for this helpful video. I have a question: how can we differentiate clinically between a sound pulp state and an asymptomatic irreversible pulpits?
That's a great question! It would mostly be from taking a thorough dental history for the patient, and finding that there is something that has contributed to irreversible pulpal damage like trauma or deep caries (which you would likely see clinically and radiographically).
Thank you for the videos! In the case of Asymptomatic Irreversible Pulpitis, how can we diagnos the patient when they have no symptoms and the x-ray is of no help?
Hey dr. Thanks for u video really helpful . Could u plz let me know what is least effective irrigation against E.facialis? Options are : chlorhexidine - hypo - tetracuycline - iodine
How can we diagnose and treat an IRREVERSIBLE PULPITIS? Cause Bacteria from the oral cavity pass through a defect (crack, caries or leaking restoration) and gain access to the pulp chamber. The pulp mounts an inflammatory response and defends the pulp chamber from the organisms. Unfortunately the increased pulpal pressure makes the A delta fibres fire at a lower threshold. Meaning the patient gets extreme sensitivity to hot liquids(but often cold liquids also are severely sensitive and rarely can even be calming for the inflammation.) Diagnosis. Elicit the pain using thermal tests! Hot can be done using dam and hot water. Cold tests can be done using Endo frost and a cotton pellet or CO2 snow (more difficult to obtain). Often these teeth exhibit minimal if not periapical radiolucency because the disease has not been present long enough to show significant inflammation. Treatment. The pulps of these teeth tend to be large as the bacterial infiltration tends to be rapid, allowing little or no time for calcification. So anaesthesia is the challenge - location and preparation of the canals per se aren’t normally a problem! For lower molar teeth I have used 2.2ml Articaine for mandibular for many years with success. A buccal infiltration of 2.2ml articaine and then a lingual infiltration using 2.2ml lignocaine. WAIT 10 mins by the clock and then re-test using thermal testing to check before you start performing access.. this does a couple of things 1. Firstly shows you are using something to assess before using a drill and therefore are being nice to the patient but also 2. Allowing them to indicate that they feel comfortable enough for you to begin access. “Can you feel the cold? “No, I don’t feel this anymore.” - this is a good indication they are happy to begin !! Access and then removal of the pulp tissue is required. Usually just the coronal pulp removal is required to give relief (but I try and remove all the pulp to the apex). Placement of steroid antibiotic paste is helpful if you haven’t removed all the pulp. Or calcium hyd if you have removed it all. Then sealing of the defect using a temporary restoration will prevent leakage. And remove symptoms! Don’t forget to adjust the bite. If you are doing NO Drill dentistry at the moment 4mg dexamethasone has been used before my some clinicians with success.

Dr. Rayn thank u so much!! 👌👌 Doc I have a query even cold test is also a pulp sensitivity test and not a vitality test... But you everyone says it's better than thermal and EPT And how does it differ from them Pls can u help me with this doc🥺
Hey Dr Rayan question about Asymptomatic Irreversible Pulpitis, How we can decide to proceed with Endodontics treatment if pt has irreversible pulpits but is responding to tests in a normal way? do we have to rely on clinical findings such as advanced caries or pulp exposure to some extent to the oral cavity environment? because at this stage radiography won't be that much of help tho. Thanks
Hello Dr Ryan. Thank you so much for you videos!!!! I want to know if there's any difference between condensing osteitis and idiopathic osteosclerosis, I hope you can see this comment!!. Thank you.
Condensing osteitis is a localized diffuse radiopacity as an inflammatory response of bone usually to a tooth infection--and is usually located around the apex of the infected tooth. Idiopathic osteosclerosis can LOOK the same, but is not necessarily around the apex of a tooth and is not usually associated with inflammation.
Vitality testing in general is not useful for primary teeth. From Gopakumar et al: “Electric pulp testing has shown to be unreliable or rather non effective in deciduous teeth and immature permanent teeth because the relationship between odontoblasts and nerve fibers of the pulp has yet to develop.”
If the response on cold stimuli for a ireversible asimptomatic pulpitis is equal to normal pulp , how u are going to distinguishe between those two diagnoses ?
Great question! The cold test alone would generally not give you enough information in this case. You would need to add other clinical tests in addition to discussing the patient's history of their dental problem.
What causes the asymptomatic apical periodontitis to be asymptomatic even thought the infection is present in the periodontal tissue showing the radiolusency ?
It’s the same concept as asymptomatic periodontitis when it is asymptomatic even though infection is present in the periodontium. It’s because most pain is the result of pressure, and if there is no pressure build up (like would happen if there is a draining sinus tract for example) then the patient likely won’t feel pain.
Hi Rayan thanks again for your really helpful series I just need to know what if patient is chewing on an ice and it makes the pain goes away I heard from another lecture this is a sign for none reversible pulpitis as due to inflammation there is a pain but putting cold on tooth will ease off that inflammation is that correct?
I have been having tooth pain that lasts about 10-20 minutes from slight pressure. It's on a tooth that has recently has a deep restoration. My tooth was fine for about 3 weeks then due to some pressure and I started having these longer 15 minutes tooth aches about once a day since then. (About 5 days now) my dentist did some X-rays and said I seem fine and to stay off the tooth for a few weeks. Is it possible to recover or does the pulp become more and more damaged with each ache?
Thanks for your question. I can't say for sure without a clinical evaluation and a look at your x-rays myself, but it sounds like you are describing a restoration that may be high in occlusion. Did the dentist smooth out the restoration a bit so you're not biting so hard on it?
Yes. I went back in a few days later to have it smoothed a bit. After that it was fine for two weeks until I aggravated it by wobbling it a bit (it's been wobbly for years) since I posted I my first comment I had gone to another dentist for a second opinion and she said the same thing. She tapped it, got my to bite down and blew air on it with no negitive response.
thx for your effort but how come that the tooth is vital and has sympt. apical periodontitis and you said perviously that it's an extension of necrotic pulp
@@mentaldental To those who do not know nor understand, such electrical devices can also affect the biological pacemaker, in people who do not have artificialy implanted pacemaker apparatus due to affecting the hearts natural electrical axis. This phenomena pertains also to all of the electrical root length testing devices, which require a circuit to be formed -they can alter the hearts functioning and the so called electrical axis causing arrythmia. Also the usage of larger doses of adrenaline in anasthetics containing vasoconstrictors can cause cardiac impairment. In addition if applied to inflamed or abscessed areas, were the diffusion into the blood is greater therein various anasthetics can be very unhealthy to potentialy normal hearts and their functioning.
Hi Harpreet! Technically, either would suffice. For a chronic apical abscess, the tooth is most likely dead so the tests would read that the pulp is necrotic. For a periodontal abscess, the tooth will often be alive so the tests would read that the pulp is vital. I would first do a cold test myself.
Is it normal to be pain on percussion (sap) after RCT ( the day after RCT up to a week) in some cases and may extend to a year in other cases ...cause and ttt please ?? Thanks
Absolutely! Persistent pain following RCT is defined in the literature as pain reported up to 6 months following removal of the pulpal tissue that the patient localizes to his/her dental-alveolar structures. Current studies report about 10% of patients experience this. It is far more common to have pain and/or sensitivity for a few days or weeks after treatment.

Thank u dr.ryan.
Hello doc. You had said asymptomatic response is normal response and non lingering please? I thought it had no response to testings
you're saving my a... in dental school. :-)
Thank you for the videos! In the case of Asymptomatic Irreversible Pulpitis, how can we diagnos the patient when they have no symptoms and the x-ray is of no help?
You can’t! You need a good radiograph to diagnose that condition.
Nice good job ,👍
Super🥇
thank you
Hey dr. Thanks for u video really helpful .
Could u plz let me know what is least effective irrigation against E.facialis? Options are : chlorhexidine - hypo - tetracuycline - iodine

How can we diagnose and treat an IRREVERSIBLE PULPITIS?

Often these teeth exhibit minimal if not periapical radiolucency because the disease has not been present long enough to show significant inflammation.
Treatment.
The pulps of these teeth tend to be large as the bacterial infiltration tends to be rapid, allowing little or no time for calcification. So anaesthesia is the challenge - location and preparation of the canals per se aren’t normally a problem!

Placement of steroid antibiotic paste is helpful if you haven’t removed all the pulp. Or calcium hyd if you have removed it all. Then sealing of the defect using a temporary restoration will prevent leakage. And remove symptoms!
Don’t forget to adjust the bite.
If you are doing NO Drill dentistry at the moment 4mg dexamethasone has been used before my some clinicians with success.

I want to ask you about the lingering, i just don’t understand what it’s mean in dentistry?
Hey Dr Rayan question about Asymptomatic Irreversible Pulpitis, How we can decide to proceed with Endodontics treatment if pt has irreversible pulpits but is responding to tests in a normal way? do we have to rely on clinical findings such as advanced caries or pulp exposure to some extent to the oral cavity environment? because at this stage radiography won't be that much of help tho.

same question, i also have ?
i think there is delayed response to cold test or EPT..
Great job ,, can i ask question,, what the best material for dirict pulp cap MTA or Ca hydroxide ??
What is the hallmark of asymptomatic apical periodontitis.?
what fibers are involved in
- reversible pulpitis
- irreversible pulpitis
