Pulp degeneration - what does this mean

Pulp degeneration is a condition in which the dental pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth) becomes inflamed, necrotic, and eventually dies. it can be caused by a variety of factors, such as trauma, dental caries, deep restorations, and periodontal disease. it can also be caused by systemic diseases, such as diabetes, that can affect the blood supply to the pulp.

What happens during the disease - pulp degeneration

Pulp degeneration is a dental condition that is caused by a bacterial infection that penetrates the enamel of a tooth and invades the pulp chamber. this infection causes inflammation of the pulp tissue, which leads to the death of the pulp cells and the subsequent breakdown of the pulp tissue. this process causes the pulp to become necrotic, leading to the formation of a pulp cavity that is filled with bacteria and debris.
