Reversible and irreversible painful pulpitides: diagnosis and treatment
I B Bender. Aust Endod J. 2000 Apr.
Abstract
The foregoing clinical evidence indicates that when pain is severe, or when mild to moderate pain is present with a previous history of pain in the aching tooth, with or without periapical radiolucency, the tooth is in the IRPP category. Treatment dictates endodontic therapy or extraction. On the other hand, when clinical evidence indicates that the pain is mild or moderate with no previous history of pain, normal pulp vitality, and there is no positive percussion sign, the pulp is in the RPP category. Treatment dictates indirect or direct pulp capping in teeth with or without periapical radiolucency. The success rate favours teeth with no periapical radiolucency, 98%; in teeth with periapical radiolucency the success rate is less favorable, 43%. Efforts should be made to maintain pulp vitality. Endodontic therapy can always be done, if in time the pulp develops necrosis.
