Depending on the type of trauma, its severity and duration, the pulpitis may be reversible, but often this is not the case and the inflammation becomes irreversible. The result of untreated '''irreversible pulpitis''' is '''pulp necrosis''', followed by the spread of inflammation to affect the apical periodontium (apical periodontitis) and the periapical bone, resulting in bone destruction around the apex of the root (periapical disease). | Depending on the type of trauma, its severity and duration, the pulpitis may be reversible, but often this is not the case and the inflammation becomes irreversible.
