The nerve of the tooth is medically known as the pulp, and removing the pulp is a step in root canal treatment. Removal of pulp includes drug inactivation and extraction under local anesthesia.
1. Drug inactivation method: pulpitis using a dental drill to open the pulp, sealed into the inactivator, the current commonly used is slow inactivator, the main component is paraformaldehyde, relatively few side effects, the general sealing time for 1 to 2 weeks, the inactivator is taken out of the follow-up, at this time, the pulp has been basically inactivated, you can use the pulp extraction needle, directly extracted.
2. Extraction method under local anesthesia: the emergence of pulpitis, you can open the pulp under local anesthesia, this time the anesthetic is still in effect, the pulp is painless, you can directly use the extraction needle to extract the anesthetized pulp, and the use of 3% sodium hypochlorite and saline alternately rinsed clean the root canals for the next step in the preparation of the treatment.
The presence of pulpitis and removal of the pulp requires medical attention for standardized treatment.
