demeclocycline and Pulpitis

Materials applied to teeth release chemicals which may diffuse through dentine to either harm or help the dental pulp. Chemical threats are minimized by material choice or by using relatively impermeable lining or base materials which are themselves of low chemical toxicity. The most probable long-term threat to the pulp in the restored tooth is bacterial, through leakage around restorations. This may be prevented by the use of treatment sequences designed to develop an effective seal. Pulpal inflammation is treated primarily by removal of the irritant cause; inflammation may also be suppressed in the very short term by corticosteroids, and its resolution aided in the longer term by zinc oxide-eugenol preparations.

Antibiotics can be used as an adjunct to endodontic treatment in a number of ways--locally, systemically and prophylactically. The local or intra-canal use of antibiotics in the form of medicaments is common. However, the commercially available agents for this purpose may not be the ideal mixtures. Systemic antibiotics should be restricted to patients who have local signs of infection, malaise and elevated body temperature. Prophylactic use of antibiotics has been recommended for patients 'at risk' of infective endocarditis, in some pre-surgical situations and following avulsion and replantation of teeth. The tendency towards indiscriminate antibiotic use should be discouraged. The use of broad spectrum drugs should be restricted so that these medications remain effective in serious situations.

The aims of this study were to assess symptoms and signs caused by cracks in teeth and to assess a conservative management protocol.. The symptoms and signs of 100 consecutive teeth that had reversible pulpitis associated with cracks were compared to findings from other reports. Teeth were managed with a conservative protocol which involved removal of cracks, caries and restorations, followed by placement of a sedative lining and interim restoration unless there were pulp exposures or insufficient tooth structure remaining. Teeth were monitored for pulp healing after three months and for up to five years.. Eighty teeth did not require endodontic treatment. One tooth had an uncertain pulp status at review appointments. Fifteen teeth required endodontic treatment at the initial appointment because of carious pulp exposures (4 teeth), cracks extending into the pulp (2), and posts required (9). Four other teeth required endodontic treatment later following conservative pulp treatment due to continued pulpitis under the temporary restoration (1), pulpitis after core restoration (2), and pulp necrosis diagnosed at the review (1).. Provided there is an accurate diagnosis of the pulp status and its cause, teeth with reversible pulpitis due to cracks can be treated conservatively without endodontic treatment in about 80 per cent of cases.

The effects of Ledermix+calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) or Ca(OH)2 alone on inflamed pulp tissues of dogs were studied. Fifty-nine upper incisor teeth of 10 dogs were used. Class V cavities were prepared and filled with amalgam after placement of decayed dentin particles. After 7 days, the decayed dentin and alloy were removed, and the pulps of the teeth were exposed. Ledermix and Ca(OH)2 mixtures or Ca(OH)2 alone were applied to the cavities. At the end of 7, 30, and 90 days, the teeth were extracted and examined histopathologically. Inflammation was found to be more prevalent in the 7- and 30-day groups that were treated with the Ledermix+Ca(OH)2 combination, whereas fibrosis and necrosis were nearly similar in both groups. In the 90-day groups, no inflammation was seen. No difference between the two 90-day groups with regard to reparative dentin was found.
