Details
Description:
The dental pulp is a singular connective tissue confined by rigid walls of mineralized tissue in an environment that has a low tolerance to inflammation, where the tissue is supplied by the blood vessels passing through the apical foramen. An arborized vascular system and a delicate artery that penetrates the apical foramen represent its only blood source. Orthodontic movement may cause a great number of tissue alterations in the dental pulp, however, these changes may not be entirely recognized owing to the difficulty in simulating clinical situations. Depending on the duration, type and magnitude of the force, and the physiological tissue tolerance, the pulp tissue may be affected in a reversible or irreversible manner. This presentation will discuss with clinical cases and scientific evidence these alterations and how to deal with the diagnostic procedure.
Course Outline
Objectives
At the conclusion, participants should be able to:
- List the pulp alterations that can occur during orthodontic treatment.
- Discuss common orthodontic-endodontic treatment planning challenges.
- Describe appropriate management of teeth requiring integrated endodontic and orthodontic treatment.
