ENDODONTIC TERMINOLOGY

S

Scaling - Scraping teeth above the gums to remove plaque, calculus and stains from teeth. (RCP)

Sealants - Plastic resin put on molar biting surfaces to prevent bacteria from attacking the enamel and causing caries. (RCP)

Socket - A cavity in the bone; Also known as Alveolus (RCP)

Surgical Endodontic Therapy - Root canal treatment involving some type of surgical procedure that is employed as a means to gain access to that portion of a tooth requiring endodontic attention. The most common type of surgical endodontic procedure is the "apicoectomy." During this procedure the endodontist opens the gum tissue near the tooth and removes the very tip of its root as well as inflamed or infected tissue.(AT)

Symptomatic apical periodontitis → see Apical

Symptoms for root canal treatment - Inside the tooth, the pulp's soft tissue contains the blood supply, by which the tooth gets its nutrients, and the nerve, by which the tooth senses hot and cold. This tissue is vulnerable to damage from deep dental decay, accidental injury, tooth fracture, or trauma from repeated dental procedures (such as multiple fillings over time). If a tooth becomes diseased or injured, bacteria build up inside the pulp, spreading infection from the natural crown of the tooth to the root tips in the jawbone. Pus accumulates at the ends of the roots, forming a painful abscess which can damage the bone supporting the teeth. Such an infection may produce pain that is severe, constant, or throbbing, as well as prolonged sensitivity to heat or cold, swelling and tenderness in the surrounding gums, facial swelling, and discoloration of the tooth. However, in some cases, the pulp may die so gradually that there is little noticeable pain. (ADBQ)
