Etiology of pulp diseases
The dental pulp
loose connective tissue occupying
a cavity lying in center of dentin.
Morphology
FUNCTIONS OF DENTAL PULP
? Nutrition : blood supply
? Sensation : temp C vibration C chemicals
? Formative : maintain of dentin
? Protective : formation of tertiary dentin
? Defensive : inflammatory response

The nerve of pulp consist of :
? Afferent nerves : conduct impulses to be
received as a pain
? Sympathetic fibers : regulation of micro
circulation in pulp

Etiology of pulp diseases
Wein classification

Bacterial
Traumatic
Iatrogenic
Idiopathic
1. Bacterial
A- coronal ingress
? Caries: the most common cause
of ingress of bacteria to pulp
? Fractured crown
? Anomalous tract: as dens invaginatus ,
dens evaginatus and radicular lingual groove
B- radicular ingress
? Caries: less common than
coronal caries
? Retrogenic infection:
periodontal pocket
? Hematogenic infection:
anachoresis
2. Traumatic
A- acute
? Coronal fracture
? Radicular fracture
? Luxation
? Avulsion
B- chronic
? Attrition: physiological wear
? Abrasion: mechanical loss of
tooth structure
? Erosion: chemical loss of
tooth structure
3. Iatrogenic
? Cavity preparation
Heat
Depth
Desiccation
Vibration
Acid etching
? Restoration
Fractured restoration
Leaky restoration
Acid containing restorations
? Periodontal curettage
? Periradicular curettage
? Rhinoplasty
? Osteotomy
? local anesthesia
? Orthodontic movement
? Intubation for general anesthesia
4. Idiopathic
? Aging
? Internal resorption
? Hereditary hypophosphatemia

Physical
? Thermal :
. Large metallic restorations without base .
. cavity preparation .
. setting of some cements e.g. Acrylic resin .
? Pressure
? Speed
? Depth of cutting
? presence or absence of insulating base
? Electrical :
presence of two dissimilar metals ( galvanism ) .
? Radiation :
-Direct effect
-Indirect effect
Mechanical
? Trauma
? cracked tooth syndrome
? Abrasion
? Lack of temporary
coverage after crown-
bridge preparation
? operative procedures :
operative procedures must taken during cavity preparation,
???? cavity depth
???? pulp exposure
???? pin insertion
? Orthodontic movements :
orthodontic movement , can lead to devitalization of the pulp
and pulpal hemorrhage .
? Deep periodontal curettage
Deep periodontal curettage, leads to damaging the pulpal
vessels, so it should be done after R.C.T
Chemical
? Dental materials
? Antibacterial agents
? Dental materials
* monomer in composite restorations .
* Amalgam, has cytotoxic effect .
*cements, some has potential irritation to pulp
e.g. Free phosphoric acid in phosphate cements .
* Etching agents , if placed over 15 seconds in dentin
can cause chronic inflammation of the pulp .
? Antibacterial agents
* Antibacterial agents as silver nitrate, phenol and eugenol which was used
to sterilize the cavity preparation have shown cytotoxic effects and causes
inflammatory changes
Barodontalgia / Aerodontalgia
symptom rather than a pathological
pain caused by a change in barometric pressure
