Video: Pulpitis
In general, two damage mechanisms that may
cause an inflammation of the pulp can be
distinguished.
But a bone infection may also develop in the
absence of bacteria.
Bacteria feed off the tissue residue and can
multiply without hindrance.
An insufficient amount of immune cells may
contribute to the development of an infectious
reaction in the bone.
The “migrating bacteria” settle in places where they
can escape the immune system.

Years later, a root canal sclerosis may lead to a
root resorption.
If there is an infectious focus, a spreading of the
bacteria may occur.
There may still be cell debris attached to the walls.
Sometimes, all these processes may occur
simultaneously in a tooth.
One should also not forget that every patient
experiences pain differently.
That is why every focus of infection should be
treated irrespective of its developmental history.
