Pulp Pain fibers
A-delta
- Larger myelinated nerves that cause quick, sharp, momentary pain that quickly dissapates
- Intimate Association with odontoblastic cell layer and dentin is referred to as Pulpodentinal Complex

C afferent fibers
- Small unmyelinated nerves that course centrally in pulpal stroma
- Diffuse Pain occurs with tissue injury and is mediated by inflammatory mediators, vascular changes, and increase in pressure
- Felt as dull aching pain when exaggerated A-delta pain subsides and can spread to other teeth.
- Signifies Irreversible local tissue damage
Hyperalgesia
Exaggerated and disproportionate pulpal response to challenging stimulus
Pulpodentinal Complex
Intimate association of A-delta fibers with odontoblastic cell layer and dentin

*- C fibers are not associated with the Pulpodentinal complex
Pulpal Disease Clinical Classifications - 4
1) WNL
2) Reversible pulpitis
3) Irreversible pulpitis, Symptomatic and Asymptomatic
4) Necrosis
WNL Pulpal classification - 3
1) Asymptomatic
2) Normal pulp produces mild to moderate transient response to thermal and electrical stimuli and subsides almost immediately when stimulus is removed
3) No painful response upon percussion or palpation
Reversible Pulpitis classification - 3
1) Thermal stimuli causes quick, sharp, hypersensitive response that subsides quick when removed
2) Can be caused by caries, SRP, Deep restorations without a base
3) If irritant is removed, will return to healthy state
How to distinguish between Reversible and Irreversible Pulpitis and Crossover Point
1) Reversible pulpitis causes momentary painful response to thermal change that subsides quickly which Irreversible causes lingering pain
2) Reversible pulpitis does not involve spontaneous pain

Crossover Point: Frank penetration of bacteria into the pulp
Irreversible Pulpitis Classification - 3
Classified as Symptomatic and Asymptomatic Irreversible Pulpitis

1) Pulp has damaged beyond repair
2) See micro abscess of pulp begin as tiny zones of necrosis with inflammatory cells. Intact nerves seen in areas of degeneration
3) Pulpal death may occur quickly or require years. May be painful or asymptomatic
Asymptomatic Irreversible Pulpitis possible Consequences - 2
1) Hyperplastic Pulpitis - Reddish cauliflower growth of pulp tissue through carious exposure. Attributed to low-grade chronic irritation and generous vascular supply in young people
2) Internal Resorption
- Commonly identified during routine radiographic exam and can perforate the root
- Only prompt Endodontic therapy will prevent further tooth destruction
Histological Appearance of Chronic Pulpitis - 3
1) Chronic Inflammatory cells
2) Multinucleated giant cells adjacent to Granulation tissue
3) Necrotic pulp coronal to resorptive defect
Symptomatic Irreversible Pulpitis - 4
1) Spontaneous intermittent or continuous pain
2) Temperature changes and sometimes Postural changes elicits prolonged episodes of lingering pain
3) May see thickening of apical portion of PDL
4) Electric pulp test has little value in diagnosing Symptomatic Irreversible Pulpitis
Necrotic Pulp classification - 4
1) May result from untreated irreversible pulpitis, traumatic injury, or any even causing long term interruption to pulp blood supply
2) May be partial or total. Partial necrosis such as in one canal may present as irreversible pulpitis. Total necrosis is Asymptomatic before it affects PDL with no response to thermal or EPT
3) May present with Crown Discoloration in anterior teeth
4) Protein breakdown and bacterial toxins will spread down apical foramen to cause thikening of PDL and sensitivity to percussion and chewing
Microscopic characteristics of Necrotic Pulp - 3
1) Liquefaction Necrosis in center of pulp due to inflammation
2) Increase in tissue pressure and destruction due to Insufficient drainage caused by lack of collateral circulation and unyielding dentin walls
3) Bacteria penetrating Dentinal Tubules, so its important to remove superficial layers of dentin during cleaning and shaping of canals

Considerations of Endodontically treated teeth
- Major cause of endo failure is Coronal Leakage. Coronal seal is more important than Apical seal
- Endo treated teeth do not become brittle, and moisture content stays the same
- Presence of PA lesion will reduce success rate of Endo by 10-20%
- 1mm Ferrule will have double the fracture resistance
- Atleast 4-5mm of apical gutta percha is recommended after Post insertion
Strep Mutans

- Sharpness of image increases as size of focal spot decreases

Copper Stem
- Dissapates Heat
mA
Milliamperage
- Regulates temperature of filament and thus # of electrons emitted
- Controls quantity of radiation produced(Intensity), but does not control Beam Energy
kVp
Controls Beam Quality which is the mean energy of an x-ray beam
- Higher energy photons have shorter wave-lengths
- Beam intensity, number of photons, also increases with kVp
Bremsstrahlung Radiation

- Changes direction and contributes to film fog

Photoelectric Absorption: 30%
- When photon ejects electron and then ceases to exist
- Contributes greatly to diferences in optical density of enamel, dentin, and bone

Compton Effect: 62%
- When photon hits an electron
- Electron takes some energy and is ejected

2) Sphenio-Ethmoid - Closes at 7
3) Spheno-occipital - Closes later
Maxilla Growth
Intramembranous
- Grows at sutures posterior and superior to maxilla
- Anterior movement negated by anterior resorption, Downward migration is augmented by inferior apposition of bone
- Bone is added at posterior
Mandible Growth
Both endochondral and intramembranous
- Begins just lateral to Meckel's Cartilage, which later disintegrates and forms Malleus and Incus
- Cartilage is transformed to bone at the condyle
- Growth occurs by new formation at condyle and resorption anteriorly with deposition posteriorly
- Space for posterior teeth is made by Ramus resorption

- Growth at condyle moves mandible downward and forward. Posterior face height exceeds anterior and chin becomes more prominent.
- If condylar growth exceeds molar eruption, may have shorter face and deep overbite
- Rarely, if Molar growth exceeds Condylar growth, will have longer face and anterior open bite
Scammon Growth Curves
- Neural tissues grow rapidly and hit 100% at 6-7
- Lymphoid tissues also grow quickly, reaching twice adult size at age 10 and then involutes
- Genital tissue don't grow till puberty
- Muscle and Bone grow rapidly at birth, slow, then grows again at puberty
- Maxilla is close to brain and grows close to neural growth, and mandible shows growth spurt like reproductive tissues
Growth Sex Differences
- Girls reach peak at 2 yrs earlier at 12, Boys at 14
- Earlier the peak of growth, the shorter duration and less overall growth
- Girls generally start growth sooner, but growth is shorter and will grow less
Predictors of Growth

- Hand-Wrist radiograph or vetebral bones on Ceph is good predictor
- Sexual development is a good correlation
General Direction of Jaw Growth
- Growth in width is completed before growth spurt

- Intercanine width & Intermolar width
- All increases and then decreases. Maxillary intercanine width just increases.

Length
- Taken at midline between centrals to tangent touching Distal of second primary molars or Mesial of first permanent molars
- Small decrease in both because incisors become upright and loss of Leeway space

Circumference
- From Distal of second primary molar around the arch to other side
- Mandibular arch decreases significantly due to mesial shift into leeway space, interproximal wear, and lingual positioning of incisors from differential growth
- Maxillary arch increases slightly
