2. Pulpitis: generally due to developmental abnormalities, dental trauma, developmental deformities and other reasons lead to fracture of the tip of the tooth, which in turn leads to exposure of the dentin, and at this time the external stimulus will cause pulpitis. Pulpitis requires root canal treatment, which is applicable to most babies.
3. Apical periodontitis: mostly caused by caries secondary pulp infection, spread to the apical region caused by some teeth trauma also lead to pulp necrosis secondary infection caused by apical periodontitis. In the acute stage of apical periodontitis, root canal treatment can be performed to allow the inflammatory material to drain out through the root canal. When the pus reaches the periosteum or mucous membrane in the acute pus phase, incision and drainage can be performed to drain the pus.
