Hey everyone, this is Ryan here and welcome back for this next series on endodontics,

one of the main clinical topics that appears on part two of the dental board exams.

It's actually tied with pharmacology with having the least amount of questions of all the sections.

There are only 31 questions out of a total 500.

So with that being said,

like all of my videos,

I'm going to be focusing only on the highest yield things you need to know.

While I'm gearing these videos for exam preparation,

they are also designed to give you a nice overview of these topics for clinical application and general knowledge.

So first, we're going to go over the biology of the dental pulp,

because much of endodontics is focused on pulpal health,

since endodontics literally translates to the knowledge of what's within teeth.

So the pulp is obviously very important.

So the pulp is the innermost part of the tooth and is generally very soft and vascular.

So let's talk about what specifically is contained within this tissue.

So the pulp contains loose fibrous connective tissue with nerves,

blood vessels, and lymphatics.

Again, very vascular.

It contains fibroblasts, which secrete fibrous connective tissue.

It also houses the odontoblasts, which secrete dentin.

Now the type of dentin depends on the stage of root formation.

So it's considered primary dentin before root formation is complete,

and secondary dentin after root formation is complete.

But odontoblasts secrete both types of dentin.

It also contains undifferentiated mesenchymal cells,

which can differentiate into a specific type of cell,

which we'll revisit later, called secondary odontoblasts.

So the confusing thing here is that secondary odontoblasts do not secrete secondary dentin.

They actually form tertiary dentin to protect the pulp from injury.

But these undifferentiated misenchymal cells are basically stem cells that can later on divide and become new cells.

So the pulp is also surrounded by hard dentin.

So that's what those odontoblasts have secreted as the tooth was forming and after it has completed formation.

And so this hard dentin creates a pressure system which limits its ability to expand.

So the pulp, if pressure is building up and some infection has taken place,

it has a lot of trouble expanding against this hard dentin.

Also, it lacks collateral circulation,

which limits its ability to cope with infection.

So basically, there's one way in, one way out.

For a two-rooted tooth, I guess it has two ways in and two ways out.

But there are less avenues for immune cells to reach the pulp.

So the pulp tissue as compared to,

say, the skin of your face is already compromised structurally in terms of being able to fight an infection.

One, for the pressure buildup,

and two, for less avenues for immune cells to reach that component.

So the pulp is already anatomically more driven to infection,

at least more easily.

So let's talk about that.

The dentin and pulp defense.

What can we do for,

or what can the pulp do rather,

to fight off or defend itself from an infection?

So sclerotic dentin is basically very hard dentin.

The calcification has occurred of dentinal tubules in response to slowly advancing caries or just aging,

just the physiological process of this dentin getting harder over time.

So sclerotic dentin would be a pulpal response to slowly advancing caries.

Now we have this thing called reactionary dentin,

which is a reaction to minor damage.

So reactionary reaction to minor damage.

And some sources would call this another word for secondary dentin.

Now, reparative dentin is repair for major damage.

And some textbooks and some sources will refer to this otherwise as the tertiary dentin.

And this makes sense because minor damage wouldn't be enough to destroy the original odontoblasts that are present,

so it allows them to lay down some dentin.

While major damage would destroy the original odontoblasts,

and so then those undifferentiated mesenchymal cells need to step up

and become secondary odontoblasts and lay down tertiary dentin as basically a last resort.

However, many sources just refer to both of these together as tertiary dentin.

But I wouldn't worry too much about these details.

It's not too, too important.

More important is to know that reactionary is for minor damage,

whereas reparative is for major damage.

That's much, much more important to know than all the secondary and tertiary stuff.

So in endodontics and operative dentistry,

there's this technique referred to as pulp capping,

where you place a calcium hydroxide liner,

which irritates odontoblasts, and they'll form either this reactionary or reparative dentin,

depending on how close you are to the pulp.

So this sort of dynamic response of odontoblasts and these secondary odontoblasts to lay down new dentin,

sort of to form this dentinal wall that forms a barrier and defends the pulp.

So the tooth is very alive,

as long as it's not necrotic,

and it can respond dynamically to infection, which is pretty cool.

And now, of course, we have pulpal necrosis,

where the tooth is dead,

the pulp has been compromised,

and that's the response to rapidly advancing caries or other severe damage.

And the tooth has lost the battle and the pulp is now dead.

So in all of these cases,

the main cause of serious pulpal injury is always bacteria.

So bacteria can come from a plethora of sources,

mostly from, let's think, dental caries or cavities,

and the bacteria are small enough where they can penetrate beyond the obvious caries

and cavities through dentinal tubules to reach the pulp.

And that's when problems can start occurring.

The patient can be in pain and the pulp can become infected and can die eventually.

All right, so now let's talk about more specifics of the histology of the dental pulp.

So from outside to inside,

we have, well, first we have dentin,

that's this darkest layer right here,

100

and then the pre-dentin is the innermost portion of dentin.

101

That's the lighter portion here,

102

and it's lighter because it's not mineralized,

103

and it's located directly adjacent to what we would consider the actual pulp.

104

So the odontoblastic layer is where all of these nuclei are.

105

These are the odontoblasts that are laying down dentin right on the outside,

106

just adjacent to the pulp tissue.

107

So the odontoblasts, again, are actually part of the pulp,

108

but they are forming the dentin just outside of it.

109

Now right next to, or right inside the odontoblastic layer,

110

is the cell-free zone of whale,

111

and that's this zone right here where there are almost zero nuclei present,

112

and that's because there are no cells there.

113

In this region, you'll often see

114

nerve bundles and we'll talk more about nerves in the next coming slides

115

and then right inside of that is the cell rich zone

116

and that's where we have a lot more nuclei

117

and then inside of that would be the pulp core the central part of the pulp

118

and we will talk more about that as well when we're referring to nerves Okay,

119

so we have this thing called dentinal pain.

120

And so this is conducted by these A-delta fibers.

121

So that's probably the first thing we've talked about so far that's extremely important,

122

and I would definitely, definitely know that for the exam.

123

This one, the A-delta fiber,

124

is large, it's myelinated, and it's an afferent nerve,

125

which means, or afferent nerve,

126

that means it's carrying nervous information from outside the body.

127

It's carrying it peripherally towards the center,

128

so it's bringing information into the body.

129

And so it's, as you can see in this picture, it's large.

130

It's at least larger than this one that we're going to talk about in the next slide.

131

It's myelinated.

132

That's what these darker red portions are and the nodes of Ranvier between these myelinated sheaths and its afferent.

133

So the dentinal pain that's conducted by these A delta fibers is a sharp transient first pain.

134

So if you stub your toe,

135

that's the initial really sharp pain that you would feel from that.

136

These fibers course coronally through the pulp,

137

so they're coronally as opposed to,

138

say, centrally, which is where the C fibers are going to be.

139

And dental pain is more often than not associated with cold temperatures.

140

And now the second type of pain is pulpitis pain,

141

and that's conducted by these C fibers.

142

So when we compare them to the A-delta fibers,

143

they're small, they're unmyelinated, and they're also afferent nerves.

144

They're carrying this pain information.

145

As I said before, they course centrally in the pulp stroma.

146

This one is involved with dull, throbbing second pain.

147

So after you stub your toe,

148

and it hurts a lot initially,

149

and then it kind of is sore and achy a little bit later,

150

that would be the second pain.

151

And this is more often associated with heat.

152

So now that we talked about both of these,

153

you can see this chart here,

154

or this graph, with time on the x-axis,

155

and the A delta axons are transmitting this first pain,

156

super painful, and then the second pain sort of creeps up later,

157

and it's a lot longer,

158

maybe not quite as intense,

159

but it's managed a lot later.

160

So those are the two different types of pain and the two different types of fibers associated with each of those pains.

161

Now I'll go back one slide real quick

162

because I wanted to mention that the A delta fibers are transmitting dentinal pain because they are associated with the pulpo-dentinal complex.

163

And so that means where the pulp and the dentin meets,

164

it's a bit more easily provoked because dentinal pain is further on the outside,

165

you can say, and because the fibers aren't central to the pulp,

166

they're more coronal, they're more on the outside,

167

along the outside border, they're more easily provoked than the C fibers,

168

which are located more central.

169

And so you can think of it,

170

the progression of pulpal inflammation can change a pain response from

171

this first pain with a delta axons to become second pain transmitted by the C axons.

172

Alright, next I want to talk about these two really important terms for pain sensitization.

173

And there are some graphs and drawings you can check out for these terms,

174

but I actually thought they were very confusing,

175

so I'll try to explain these important terms as best as I can.

176

First we have hyperalgesia, which is a heightened response to pain.

177

And then that's compared to allodynia,

178

which is a reduced pain threshold.

179

So that's pain due to a stimulus that does not normally provoke pain.

180

So hyperalgesia would be where you have inflammatory mediators in the pulp that can increase the intensity of a pain stimulus.

181

In other words, something that's usually painful becomes even more painful.

182

And for allodynia, I have a great way to remember this.

183

And a great example of allodynia is sunburn.

184

So usually touching your skin doesn't hurt,

185

but when it's badly sunburnt,

186

it physiologically hurts when you touch your skin.

187

And aloe is something you often use to treat symptoms of sunburn.

188

So I think of it like sunburnt skin is an example of allodynia.

189

and aloe being, again, the thing that you would often grab when you're experiencing these terrible symptoms of a bad sunburn.

190

So hopefully that can help you differentiate and remember between these two important pain sensitization terms.

191

And last, I just wanted to review the concept of referred pain,

192

which is important in all of dentistry and particularly endodontics.

193

So preauricular pain often refers from mandibular molars since both share V3 innervation.

194

Okay, so what does this all mean and why is it important for anodontics?

195

So preauricular is referring to the region in front of the ear

196

and you'd think pain in front of the ears may be referred from say maxillary molars because,

197

well, they're anatomically much closer.

198

But with how the innervation of the face works,

199

as we can see in this diagram,

200

although they may be anatomically closer,

201

they share, or this area in front of the ear,

202

shares V3 innervation with the mandibular molars.

203

Since V3 is the mandibular nerve,

204

the mandibular nerve, that is what shares innervation with this part of the ear.

205

These molars are often innervated by V2 or the maxillary nerve,

206

and that's not associated with the preauricular region.

207

The reason I bring this up is because this itself can be a test question.

208

It's something that you could easily think,

209

well, just because the maxillary molars are closer to the ear,

210

maybe that could be some referred pain where you feel pain in this region because those molars are acting up,

211

but really it's more to do with how the innervation is mapped out onto the face.

212

So that's it for this video.

213

I hope you found it helpful in our introduction to endodontics and how pain is transmitted from the teeth.
