Abstract:
This research explores the intricate relationship between traumatic and atraumatic injuries of the dental pulp and their progression into pulpitis and periodontitis. The study begins by examining the anatomical and physiological connections between pulp and periodontal tissues, emphasizing the role of shared vascular and neural pathways. Through a detailed review of recent literature and analysis of clinical cases, the study demonstrates that both direct mechanical trauma and indirect factors such as bruxism, occlusal overload, and chronic irritants contribute significantly to pulpal inflammation. Furthermore, the progression from pulpitis to periodontitis is investigated, with special focus on how untreated pulp damage facilitates microbial penetration into periodontal structures. The materials and methods section details the selection of patient cases, diagnostic techniques, and histopathological evaluation. Findings reveal a statistically significant correlation between types of injuries and subsequent inflammation patterns. The discussion highlights the importance of early diagnosis, interdisciplinary dental care, and trauma prevention strategies. This research contributes to a better understanding of endo-perio lesions and proposes preventive protocols for clinicians. The study concludes that trauma-whether overt or insidious-plays a crucial role in pulpo-periodontal pathology and must be addressed comprehensively in dental practice.
