[Effects of periodontal disease and its treatment on the condition of the pulp].
Since there is a close relationship between the periodontium and the pulp, formed by the apical foramen, dentinal tubules, lateral and accessory canals, it is evident that both compartments influence one other. In this article, the influence of periodontal disease and its treatment on the dental pulp is described. The review shows that periodontal disease and its treatment, very seldom compromise the vital functions of the pulp, but can cause local pulpal response. A more common reaction is dentinal hypersensitivity. Although there's no clear treatment for dentinal hypersensitivity, this article presents a few guidelines for treatment.
