Pulp Necrosis
Pulp necrosis is a clinical diagnostic category demonstrating the death of cells and tissues in the pulp chamber of a tooth with or without bacterial invasion which may be the end result of many cases like dental trauma, caries and irreversible pulpitis. In the first stage of the infection, if it left untreated the pulp chamber is partially necrosed for a period of time, the area of cell death expands until the entire pulp necroses. Grey discoloration of the crown and/or periapical radiolucency is the most common clinical signs present in a tooth with a necrosed pulp. This altered translucency in the tooth is due to disruption and cutting off of the apical neurovascular blood supply.
