TREATMENT METHODS FOR GANGRENOUS PULPITIS IN PREGNANT WOMEN
Abstract
Gangrenous pulpitis is a severe dental condition requiring careful management in pregnant women to ensure maternal and fetal safety. This paper explores diagnostic methods, root canal therapy, conservative treatments, and safe pharmacological interventions. The importance of minimizing stress, using pregnancy-safe medications, and employing alternative techniques such as laser therapy is highlighted. A multidisciplinary approach integrating preventive care and psychological support is essential for optimal outcomes, ensuring effective infection control while safeguarding both maternal and fetal health.
