This study evaluated the presence of microorganisms and analyzed microscopically the pulp of 20 traumatized human teeth with intact crowns. Only 15% of the sample did not exhibit microbial development. The time elapsed between dental trauma and onset of endodontic intervention ranged from 15 days to 31 months.

OBJECTIVE: This study evaluated the presence of microorganisms and
analyzed microscopically the pulp of 20 traumatized human teeth with intact crowns and clinical diagnosis of pulp necrosis, based on the association of at least three of the clinical criteria: crown discoloration, negative response to thermal and electric pulp vitality tests, positive response to vertical and horizontal percussion, pain on palpation or mobility. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Microbiological collection was performed from the root canals to evaluate the presence of microorganisms. The pulp samples were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H.E.) for histological evaluation of possible morphological alterations. RESULTS: Analysis of results was performed by statistical tests (linear regression test and diagnostic analysis) and subjective analysis of the sections stained with H.E. and revealed that only 15% of the sample did not exhibit microbial development. The time elapsed between dental trauma and onset of endodontic intervention ranged from 15 days to 31 months; the percussion test presented high sensitivity (80%) for detection of microorganisms in the root canal of traumatized teeth; 3 teeth (15%) did not present pulp tissue, being characterized as complete autolysis; analysis of pulp samples was performed on the other 17 cases, among which 3 (15%) exhibited partial necrosis without possibility of repair and 14 presented complete necrosis; none of the clinical criteria employed for the diagnosis of pulp necrosis in traumatized teeth was pathognomonic. CONCLUSIONS: The present results allowed the following conclusions: with regard to microbiological findings, 85% of teeth presented microorganisms in the root canal, despite the presence of an intact crown. Concerning the microscopic findings, 100% of traumatized teeth presented pulp necrosis; the pulp vitality tests based on pulp response to heat, cold and vertical percussion were the most reliable to diagnose pulp necrosis in traumatized teeth.

OBJETIVO: Este estudio evaluó la presencia de microorganismos y analizó
microscópicamente la pulpa de 20 dientes humanos traumatizados y con coronas intactas y el diagnóstico clínico de la necrosis pulpar, basado en la asociación de al menos tres de los criterios clínicos: la decoloración de la corona, la respuesta negativa a pruebas de la vitalidad pulpar térmicas y eléctricas, la respuesta positiva a la percusión vertical y horizontal, dolor a la palpación o la movilidad. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: Recolección microbiológica se realizó a partir de los conductos radiculares para evaluar la presencia de los microorganismos. Las muestras de pulpa fueron teñidas con hematoxilina y eosina (HE) para la evaluación histológica de las posibles alteraciones morfológicas. RESULTADOS: El análisis de los resultados se realizó mediante pruebas de estadística (lineal prueba de regresión y el análisis de diagnóstico) y el análisis subjetivo de la secciones teñidas con H.E. y reveló que sólo el 15% de la muestra no presentan un desarrollo microbiano. El tiempo transcurrido entre el trauma dental y el inicio de la intervención de endodoncia osciló entre 15 días a 31meses; el ensayo de percusión presentaron alta sensibilidad (80%) para la detección de los microorganismos en el conducto radicular de los dientes traumatizados; 3 dientes (15%) presentaban tejido pulpar, se caracteriza como autolisis completa; análisis de las muestras de la pulpa se realizó en los otros 17 casos, entre los que 3 (15%) mostraron necrosis parcial, sin posibilidad de reparación y 14 de necrosis completa no presentó ninguno de los criterios clínicos empleados para el diagnóstico de la necrosis de la pulpa en dientes traumatizados se patognomónicos. CONCLUSIONES: Los resultados actuales permiten a las siguientes conclusiones: con respecto a los resultados microbiológicos, el 85% de los dientes presentan los microorganismos en el conducto radicular, a pesar de la presencia de una corona intacta. En cuanto a los hallazgos microscópicos, el 100% de los dientes traumatizados presentaron necrosis, las pruebas de vitalidad pulpar responde en base a la respuesta al calor, frío y la percusión vertical, que son los más fiables para el diagnóstico de la necrosis pulpar en los dientes traumatizados.
