What is the cause of calcified nerve? Are tooth wear and little
remaining enamel the reasons?
Amatus Cremona - 26 Mar 2007 19:30 GMT
The nerve does not calcify.  The canal space the pulp tissues reside in
calcifies.  This occurs in response to irritation.

Your obsession with enamel is beginning to enhance the
notion that you are a dental troll.

As a patient who frequently visit dentists, my purpose is to know any
information about tooth. If you would like to provide me any
professional information, you are welcomed. Otherwise...

So have you been told that you have a calcified nerve ?

Otherwise... what ?

My dentist once suspected that I had calcified root canal, and gave
some medicine. Until now, he is still watching. So I guess the
progress may be controlled to avoid to kill the nerve. Best wish.

Calcification of the canal space is due to irritation.  That means chemical,
temperature, physical trauma, decay, dental work, clenching, fractures, etc.
Medication will not stop it.  Medication may accelerate it.

Does antibiotics accelerate calcification?  I guess my case was not
too obviously decide. Thank you

I took Cephalexin. What kinds of medication may accelerate
calcification? I just want to be cautioned in the future.
Amatus Cremona - 27 Mar 2007 18:23 GMT
Topically applied CaOH was once thought to accelerate this process.  Recent
studies show this not to be true.

Absolutely but this should come as no surprise since
deep caries and excavation of such is the trauma
that accelerates secondary dentin formation.

Histologically we would just see secondary dentin formation
after the application of an indirect pulp cap.

Makes perfect sense.

Waiting to treat a calcifying root canal system only delays the inevitable,
and ultimately makes treatment more difficult.

Symptomatic teeth with a decreasing pulpal volume should recieve
endodontic treatment sooner rather than later.
