MODERN TREATMENT METHODS FOR CHRONIC AND ACUTE PULPITIS: EFFECTIVENESS OF CONSERVATIVE AND ENDODONTIC APPROACHES

This article explores the effectiveness of modern therapeutic strategies in the management of acute and chronic pulpitis, focusing on the comparative evaluation of conservative and endodontic approaches. Acute and chronic pulpitis, as inflammatory conditions of the dental pulp, remain highly prevalent and clinically significant due to their impact on pain, tooth vitality, and oral health. The study analyzes biological mechanisms underlying pulpal inflammation, diagnostic advances, and the integration of minimally invasive conservative therapies with standard endodontic treatments. Special attention is devoted to innovations in pulp vitality preservation, endodontic instrumentation, irrigation protocols, and bioceramic obturation techniques. Data from international clinical studies and meta-analyses are synthesized to highlight outcomes such as symptom control, long-term tooth survival, and patient quality of life. The findings emphasize the need for individualized treatment planning, integration of regenerative endodontics, and the expansion of conservative pulp therapies as viable alternatives to complete extirpation in selected cases.
