A patient presents with tooth pain. Upon clinical examination, tooth #19 shows a large carious lesion encroaching on pulp. There is no swelling. Radiographic examination shows a periapical radiolucency. #19 showed no response to cold, and exaggerated response to percussion and palpation. What are the pulpal and periapical diagnoses for #19?
Since #19 is negative to cold, the nerve has died and hence, the pulpal diagnosis is pulp necrosis Due to presence of a periapical radioluency as well as exaggerated response to percussion and palpation, the periapical diagnosis is symptomatic apical periodontitis.
