Question 80 · LDEK · Primary teeth

A patient aged 6 was admitted to the dental surgery. During a clinical investigation a breakage of triangle edges on the occlusal surface was found. It can be the sign of:

  1. A. inception of pulp inflammation.
  2. B. pulp necrosis.
  3. C. pulp gangrene.
  4. D. periapical inflammation.
  5. E. all the above.
Hint

Breakage of undermined enamel ridges reflects extensive dentine caries in a tooth with a large pulp; how far does this finding alone allow you to go?
