“Pulpitis”1
, What is Pulpitis?
Pulpitis is a dental condition which results in an inflamed dental pulp.
The dental pulp is the innermost and vital part of the tooth structure,
which is supplied by the blood vessels, and which contains odontoblast
cells, interstitial fluid, fibroblasts, and ground substances. Tooth injury
due to dental caries is among the primary reasons for the onset of
pulpitis
How does dental caries result in pulpitis?
The oral cavity naturally contains a host of bacteria. These bacterial counts
flare up in the presence of foods containing high sugar and starch content.
In the presence of high sugar, these bacteria produce acids which eat away
the tooth coverings, resulting in tooth decay or caries. Once caries
advances to the deepest layer of the tooth (pulp), it results in inflammation
of the pulp which is referred to as pulpitis.
