Pulpaelállítási

Pulpaelállítási, also known as pulp preservation or pulp conservation, is a dental procedure aimed at maintaining the vitality of a tooth's pulp tissue after injury or decay. The pulp, located in the innermost part of the tooth, contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue, essential for the nourishment and sensory function of the tooth.

This procedure is typically employed in cases where the pulp has been exposed due to deep caries, trauma, or microfractures. The primary goal of pulpaelállítási is to remove infected or damaged pulp tissue while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible. The process involves disinfecting the pulp chamber, followed by sealing it with a biocompatible material to prevent bacterial contamination and further decay.

Pulpaelállítási is considered a conservative alternative to root canal treatment, especially in cases where the pulp retains the potential for healing and regeneration. The success of the procedure depends on proper diagnosis, the extent of pulp damage, and the correct application of materials such as calcium hydroxide or mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), which promote healing and hard tissue formation.

The procedure is generally performed in a dental clinic under local anesthesia. Follow-up is necessary to monitor healing and pulp vitality over time. If pulpaelállítási fails or the pulp becomes infected again, more invasive treatments like root canal therapy or extraction may be required.

Overall, pulpaelállítási offers a tissue-preserving approach that can extend the functional life of a natural tooth, reducing the need for more extensive restorative procedures.
