Abstract

The dental caries that harms the hard tissues of the tooth and compromises the pulp produces an inflammatory process that progresses through various phases or stages: reversible pulpitis, transitional pulpitis, irreversible pulpitis and necrotic pulp. The pulpar tissue attacked by microorganisms does not experiment a sudden necrosis, but it progressively succumbs and each of the pulpar stages the process goes through may be identified by the pain with its own semiological characteristics of every stage, which allows to determine with enough accuracy the pulpar stage through which the inflammatory process advances in this tissue. The physiopathological interpretation of the different pulpar stages of a pulpitis and the follow-up of pain as a cardinal symptom of the inflammatory process is a form of diagnosis complementing the interpretative thinking of the clinician that gives attention to these emergencies. It also contributes to a better understanding of its evolution and to apply an adequate treatment.
