Pulpitis can be treated by opening and draining the pulp to relieve the pain and then preserving the pulp, preserving the affected tooth or extracting the affected tooth.
1. Treatment for preservation of the affected tooth: In case of acute pulpitis, the pulp can be opened and drained under local anesthesia to alleviate the pain of the affected area; then a complete root canal treatment is needed, including root canal cleaning, root canal filling, etc. Crown restoration is considered to be performed on the tooth after root canal treatment to protect the affected tooth.
2. Pulp preservation treatment: Pulp preservation includes direct pulp capping, indirect pulp capping and pulpotomy, but this treatment is limited to young permanent teeth.
3. Extraction of affected teeth: For teeth that have no preservation value, direct extraction can be considered, such as wisdom teeth that have no occlusal function.
To summarize, it is recommended that endodontitis should be treated in a timely manner.
