Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pulp fibrosis is a condition where the pulp tissue in the tooth becomes fibrotic, or scarred, due to injury or damage. It is commonly seen in patients with traumatic injuries to the tooth, such as a fracture or dislocation. A necrotic pulp would lead to pulpitis and eventually result in the need for root canal treatment. Pus formation and drainage is not a typical finding in pulp fibrosis.
