answers
Subjective Examination - -Evaluation of symptoms or problems described by
patient
- Objective Examination - -Endodontist evaluates the status of the tooth and
surrounding tissues
- Diagnostic Conclusions - -when a diagnosis of pulp is presented to the
patient
- Pulpitis - -Inflammation of the dental pulp tissue
- Reversible Pulpitis - -Form of pulpal inflammation in which the pulp may
be salvageable
- Irreversible pulpitis - -Infectious condition in which the pulp is incapable of
healing, which would then require root canal therapy.
- Periradicular abscess - -An inflammatory reaction to pulpal infection
- Chronic Periradicular Abcess - -Damage of the sinus tract
- acute periradicular abscess - -Inflammatory response with pain,
tenderness of the tooth to pressure, pus formation, and swelling of the tissue
resulting from necrosis.
- Peridontal Abscess - -acute inflammation (gingiva)in the sulcus of a
peridontal pocket.
- Periradicular cyst - -A cyst that develops at or near the root of a necrotic
tooth
- Pulp Fibrosis - -decrease of living cells within the pulp causing fibrous
tissue to take over the pulpal canal
Seen in older patients as well in patients with traumatic injury to teeth.
- necrosis - -A tooth that don't respond to sensory stimuli
- Pulpotomy - -Removal of the coronal portion of a vital pulp from a tooth
- Paperpoints - -Sterile absorbent pieces of paper rolled into long, narrow
points
, - Rubber stops - -Small, color-coded, round piece of rubber, silicone or
plastic that slide onto hand-operated files to prevent perforation of the apex
of the tooth. File measured on a xray and the stop is placed precisley at the
predetermined working length of the canal.
- Purposes of Debridement and Shaping Pupal Canal - -1. Remove bacteria,
necrotic tissue. and Organic Debris from root and canal.
2. Smooth and shape the canal so that the filling material can be completely
adapted to walls of canal.
- Obturation - -Process of filling a root canal
place a fluid tight seal in the canal from apical tip to the coronal surface to
prevent the reentry of microorganisms.
- Apical curettage - -Surgical removal of pathologic soft tissue surrounding
the apex of a root
Curettage- removal of diseased tissue by scrapping with a curette.
- Oral and Maxilliofacial Surgeon - -Dentist who has received 4 to 6 years of
post graduate training in hospital bedside residency.

- Bone file - -to remove or smooth rough edges of alveolar bone.
used in a push pull motion.
- scalpel - -surgical knife used to make a precise incision into soft tissue
with the least amount of trauma to the tissue
Leaves least amount of tissue.
- chisel and mallet - -used to remove or reshape bone.
Available in single bevel or bebevel design
- Single Bevel - -single sided. used to remove bone
- Bibevel - -Used for slitting teeth, double sided
- forceps extraction - -Performed on a tooth that is fully erupted and has a
