Pulp polyp

Pulp polyp

A pulp polyp is found in an open carious lesion, fractured tooth or when a dental restoration is missing. Due to lack of intrapulpal pressure in an open lesion pulp necrosis does not take place as would have have occurred in a closed caries case. Also a good vascular and immune supply is necessary, therefore found in adults.
