How Do Pulpal Diseases Affect the Tooth Structure?
Pulpal diseases can lead to significant changes in the histological structure of the tooth. Inflammation, typically caused by bacterial infection, can result in the necrosis of pulp tissue. This may further lead to the formation of an abscess at the root apex. Chronic inflammation can also cause the deposition of calcified tissue, leading to pulp stones which may complicate endodontic treatment.
