Visión endodóntica del rompimiento apical transitorio: revisión de la literatura

Abstract

Transient apical breakdown is a pathology characterized by generating a variation to a grayish tone in the clinical crown of the tooth and a negative response to thermal stimuli, which can cause confusion with more severe pulp lesions such as pulp necrosis or irreversible asymptomatic pulpitis but with a big difference, since transient apical breakdown tends to regenerate automatically in a certain amount of time; this can occur as a result of excessive use of orthodontic forces or suffering from traumatic injuries. The objective of this research is to identify everything that is and involves the transient apical rupture and how this develops from the endodontic point of view by determining the factors that contribute to the formation of transient apical rupture in the teeth and how this condition can be prevented and solved from an endodontic point of view.
