Biological method of pulpitis treatment - indications for the procedure and advice of a dentist

Not every method of pulpitis treatment presupposes the preservation of the "life" of the pulp. In order to avoid the sad consequences, it is necessary as soon as possible to seek help from a qualified dentist. The biological method of treating pulpitis involves the effect of drugs on the provoking factor. Due to this, the pulp tissue and its morphofunctional state are restored.

Relevance of the

method The main functions of the tooth pulp are considered to be protective and trophic. When the pulp dies, solid dental tissues become very hard to hit. The danger lies in the fact that the elimination of pulp increases the need to remove a large amount of dental hard tissues.

Save pulp life is often impossible due to the fact that the patient almost never comes to the dental clinic in a timely manner.

If you ask for help from a qualified dentist on time, there is every chance of getting rid of dangerous pathology by conservative means. Otherwise, "little blood" can not be dispensed with - a purulent inflammation assumes only a radical approach.

Indications for treatment

Biological treatment of pulpitis is prescribed if:

1. Deep caries.
2. Horn pulp.
3. Serous-purulent pulpitis( actual for the first hours after a pain attack).
4. Simple chronic pulpitis.
5. Hyperemia.

Contraindications

Biological treatment of pulpitis is not recommended in the case of:

1. Purulent-non-coronary pathology.
2. Ulcerative necrotic pathology.
3. The development of the disease in the elderly and patients suffering from somatic pathologies.
4. Development of cervical caries.
5. Progression of chronic pathology.

Such treatment should be carried out only in the absence of concomitant pathologies. The patient's age must not exceed thirty-five years.

Features of treatment

Biological method of pulpitis treatment involves a 2-step approach. First, the dentist puts a paste, consisting of antibiotic drugs and glucocorticoids, under the bandage. A few days later, the doctor removes the medicine in order to apply another paste to the problem site, which contains medicines of calcium hydroxide.

First visit to a dentist

When a dentist visits a patient for the first time, the doctor performs the following manipulations:

• the introduction of anesthetics;
• elimination of all pathological zones;
• isolating a diseased tooth from salivation( operated by a cofferdam);
• treatment of the dental cavity with topical medications;
• application of a healing pad;
• overlay of the insulating pad;
• establishing a temporary seal.

Says Dr.

After the first visit, the dentist appoints a physiotherapy patient. Most often for the treatment of pathology, a helium-neon laser is used. The duration of the procedure is thirty seconds.

In addition, the patient is assigned:

• reception of Ibuprofen and other non-steroid drugs prescribing relief of inflammation;
• removal of pulp and application of a seal on the root canals( actual for the progression of the acute form).

Because of the insensitivity of the cariogenic microflora to antibiotic drugs, it is not recommended to apply them in the development of this pathology.

Second visit to the dentist

If the patient feels well, the dentist does the following:

1. removes the temporary seal;
2. isolates the tooth from drooling( cofferdam);
3. establishes a permanent seal.

In order to exclude the risk of progression of periodontitis, which can occur against the background of a radical destruction of the pulp, the client should discuss with his doctor follow-up visits.

The relevance of the biological method is explained by the fact that it is not only simple and safe, but also financially accessible to the average client of the dental clinic.
