PULP POLYP

WHAT IS PULP POLYP:

Pulp is the soft tissue which is present inside the tooth & supplies blood to the teeth.Any sensation perceived by tooth is because of the pulp.

A pulp polyp is an abnormal growth of tissues from the lining  tissues as a result of  pulpal inflammation due to extensive caries exposure of young pulp. It is also known as hyperplastic pulpitis.

The inflammation is mainly because of the fact that the healthy pulp tissue is resisting the irritation caused by the causative factors. It is a tissue that is formed when inflammation cause the tissue(pulp)to increase in size & swell.

               

 CAUSES: It occurs as a result of both mechanical irritation & bacterial invasion into the pulp of tooth .

1.Slow & progressive carious exposure of pulp is the main cause

2.Carious tooth with significant loss of tooth structure.

3.Long standing decay.

4. Fractured tooth due to trauma with pulpal exposure.

5.Loss of dental restoration that results in pulpal exposure.

SYMPTOMS:

1. Mastication leads to tenderness, localized bleeding may occur.

2. Mild to moderate pain to be present especially on the back teeth as these teeth help in breaking down food, so when these forces act on pulp ,the inflammation aggrevates.

CLINICAL FEATURES:

It is seen as a spongy soft tissue nodule which extrudes from the cavitated or fractured surface of tooth. It enlarges to fill the entire cavitated area or pulp chamber of tooth. Appears as round red or pink mass that can be seen popping out of the open tooth structure.

TREATMENT:

Removal of the hyperplastic tissue followed by1. RCT( if sufficient tooth structure present).

                                                                            2. RCT &POST&CORE( if sufficient tooth structure                                                                                                                                          not there).

BRUXISM - TEETH GRINDING

BRUXISM

                Bruxism  also known as tooth grinding, is the medical term for clenching or grinding teeth. Few people unconsciously grind their teeth and/or clench their jaw, either while awake or during sleep. If not resolved, this activity can lead to weakened or cracked teeth, receeding gums, damaged jaw joint, headaches, disrupted sleep and more. Occasional bruxism may not be harmful but when it occurs regularly, it may be associated with moderate to severe dental damage, facial pain, and disturbed sleep.

SYMPTOMS :

• dull headaches

• jaw soreness

• teeth that are painful or loose

• fractured teeth

         Teeth grinding is also common in children. However, because their teeth and jaws change and grow so quickly it is not usually a damaging habit that requires treatment and most outgrow it by adolescence.   Although in adults teeth grinding is often the result of stress, the same is not always true with children. Other possible causes of teeth grinding in children include:

• Irritation in the mouth

• allergies

• misaligned teeth

TREATMENT :

   Your dentist can fit you with a mouth guard to protect your teeth during sleep. In some

 cases, your dentist or physician may recommend taking a muscle relaxant medicine before bedtime.

 If stress is the cause you need to find a way to relax. Meditation, counseling and exercise can all help stress and anxiety.

TEETH EROSIN - Stomach Upset and Your Teeth

   Erosion: Stomach Upset and Your Teeth

                  Frequent stomach upset can cause a gradual wearing away of the protective enamel on your teeth, a process known as tooth erosion. This can affect the appearance of your teeth and open the door for harmful bacteria that cause cavities.

How Do Stomach Problems Affect My Teeth?

                 Your stomach produces natural acids that help your body digest food. Sometimes, these acids travel up the throat and into the mouth, especially after a large meal. Ordinarily, our saliva rebalances the acid levels in our mouth and everything’s fine. 

But for those who suffer from gastroesophageal reflux, also known as acid reflux or GERD, gastric acids reach the mouth throughout the day. This process is especially damaging when you’re asleep, since you are swallowing less often and your mouth is producing less saliva.

Another concern is the dry mouth caused by many acid reflux medicines. Saliva not only helps neutralize the acids caused by acid reflux, but also helps to wash away food particles and reduce bacteria that attack tooth enamel. This is why lower saliva production may increase your risk for cavities. 

What Does Reflux-Related Erosion Do to My Teeth?

TEETH EROSION

Acid reflux can wear away the enamel on the inside surfaces of your teeth, as well as the chewing surfaces. Your dentist may notice this during an examination.

Unfortunately, tooth erosion is permanent. If your enamel has started to wear away, you may:

• Feel pain or sensitivity when consuming hot, cold or sweet drinks

• Yellowish discoloration of the teeth

• Cavities over time

• Develop an abscess, in extreme cases

• Experience tooth loss, also in extreme cases

How to Protect Your Teeth – And Get Relief

• Chewing sugar-free gum can encourage saliva production, which helps neutralize and wash away the acids in your mouth. 

• Prescription or over-the-counter fluoride and desensitizing toothpastes may help strengthen tooth enamel. 

• Avoiding alcohol and smoking and refraining may reduce the frequency of acid reflux episodes.

• If heartburn, acid reflux or other stomach problems are part of your daily life, work with your physician on a care plan to treat the underlying causes of your stomach troubles. 

• If you suffer from acid reflux, see your dentist regularly so they can make sure your teeth stay healthy, recommend ways to prevent tooth enamel erosion and suggest ways to get relief if you are also suffering from dry mouth.

Conclusion

      Once erosion occurs,your treatment you may need fillings, crowns, a root canal or even tooth removal. Veneers may be an option to restore the look of your smile.

Treatment to deep cavities in milk teeth.

PULPECTOMY

A pulpectomy is a complete removal of pulp from the crown and roots. The tooth is then filled with a filling material that can be resorbed by the body. It's usually performed on baby teeth or milk teeth.

Root canal treatment in baby teeth is called as a ''pulpectomy."

There are several causes of pulpal infections that may lead to pulpectomy are --

1) Deeply decayed teeth.
2) Extensive dental fillings.
3) Trauma to the teeth.

Pulpectomy procedure:

1) Administering local anaesthesia.
2) Drilling a hole and removing the infected pulp and cleaning the canal and filling the root canal followed by inserting the stainless steel crown.
3) Prescribing the antibiotics.

Pulpectomy is commonly performed on milk teeth of a child to reduce the risk of early loss of primary teeth, which can cause the alignment problems in permanent dentition.
