Pulpit treatment in Kyiv

Pulpit – this is an inflammation of the soft tissues of the tooth, the cause of which is the penetration of microorganisms into the pulp chamber. The disease can be suspected by constant pains, the intensity of which depends on the form (acute or chronic). The only way to get rid of pain and ensure the ability to chew food well – high-quality treatment of pulpitis using modern methods.

Our UADenta clinic treats pulpitis in Kyiv at affordable prices. Preventing tooth loss is easy – you should contact the dentists of our clinic in a timely manner.

Causes inflammation of the pulp

Pulpitis most often develops against the background of untreated caries. Infection of the contents of the pulp chamber, consisting of nerves, connective tissues, blood and lymphatic vessels, leads to the development of pulpitis. Infections (usually streptococci and staphylococci) get inside the pulp chamber and begin to multiply on the soft tissues.

Among the reasons for the development of pulpitis can also be named:

• improper caries treatment (inflammation continues to develop under the installed filling); 

• improper grinding before installation of a dental prosthetic structure.

What will happen if pulpitis is not treated

The result of refusing dental care can be:

• Tooth loss due to severe crown destruction and periodontal inflammation.

• Generalized bacterial infection (sepsis) as a result of spreading from the mouth to the whole body.

• Exacerbation of chronic diseases (pyelonephritis, rheumatism, polyarthritis).

UADenta clinic dentists treat pulpitis with pulp preservation. This leaves nerves and blood vessels viable, provides access to nutrients to the tooth.

Various types of pulpitis

Depending on the causes of development, the following types of pulpitis are distinguished:

• Traumatic due to mechanical damage to the crown. Infectious agents penetrate the pulp through the affected area.

• Age-related (degenerative). Appears in the elderly due to age-related changes: atherosclerotic damage to blood vessels, calcification of nerve endings.

Pulpitis is acute or chronic:

• The acute form is characterized by intense pain that cannot be anaesthetized. Purulent exudate is released when pressing on the gums or by itself. 

• The chronic form is manifested by moderate throbbing pains and increased sensitivity of the teeth to temperature changes.

The duration of treatment of acute or chronic pulpitis is determined by the condition of the tissues surrounding and supporting the tooth, the morphological structure of the tooth itself and its root system. Also, the speed of recovery is affected by the presence of chronic diseases (endocrine, vascular, etc.). 

How to treat pulpitis

An experienced doctor can detect pulpitis visually. Additionally, if necessary, an X-ray examination is performed. Before the treatment, sanitation of the oral cavity and hygienic cleaning are mandatory.

Depending on the diagnostic data, the doctor can use the following methods of treating pulpitis in an acute or chronic form:

• Conservative. Carious cavity treatment and drug therapy for filling.

• Amputee. Partial removal of the contents of the pulp chamber and preservation of the root pulp.

• Extirpative. Complete removal of the tissues of the pulp chamber, cleaning and sealing of the canals.

Doctors of our UADenta clinic treat pulpitis in Kyiv under local anesthesia, which excludes pain. Thanks to the use of a laser, the tissue regeneration process is faster. The price of treatment of pulpitis depends on the form (acute, chronic), the characteristics of the course of inflammation, the number and shape of the roots.
