 Concept

# Reversible Pulpitis

## Definition

A clinical condition in which inflamed pulp tissue is expected to return to health once the irritant (such as caries or a leaking restoration) is removed. The hallmark is a short, sharp response to cold that subsides within a few seconds. It is generally managed by treating the cause rather than by root canal treatment.
