Pulpa: Beurteilung von Vitalität und Sensibilität

Die korrekte Diagnose des Status der Pulpa vor vitalerhaltenden Maßnahmen spielt eine wichtige Rolle für den Therapieerfolg, sodass eine Beurteilung ihres Infektions- und Entzündungsgrads erforderlich ist. Im klinischen Alltag werden Sensibilitätstests genutzt, die einen Rückschluss auf die Vitalität des untersuchten Zahns zulassen. Nur mit angemessenem Kenntnisstand, Fähigkeiten und Materialien können die Zähne möglichst lange erhalten werden.
