Periapical and Pulpal Diagnosis

Paper Summary:

In this essay the writer notes that P. Carrotte contends that historically dental treatments have focused upon cleaning and restoration. The writer also points out that while this process has provided a simplified framework for treating trauma and infection, it does not provide a thorough review of patient conditions. When there is neglect in this area the patient may have recurring problems or the loss of teeth that could have been prevented if modern procedures had been followed. This paper discusses pulpal or periapical related issues.

From the Paper:

"Therefore, it should be considered that there are a number of periapical and pulpal conditions that require specific treatments. Each category contains its own areas of pulpal or periapical related issues, with diagnostic and treatment procedures that are directed to aid the dentist in determining treatment. Proper pulpal diagnosis should be accomplished prior to treatment of the patient. Asgeir Sigurdsson contends that this process is achieved through a focus on "presenting symptoms, history of symptoms, diagnostic tests and clinical findings".
