Presentation
The authors recently examined a patient who underwent this type of surgery and presented with discoloration of both upper canine teeth that was diagnosed as pulp necrosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The most common clinical signs present in a tooth with a necrosed pulp would be a grey discoloration of the crown and/or periapical radiolucency. [en.wikipedia.org]
One half alone of the original loading is present in the aged pulp. [austinpublishinggroup.com]

When the necrosis is due to ischemia with superimposed bacterial infection, it is referred to as pulp gangrene. When the necrosis is non-bacterial in origin, it is called pulp mummification. [profiles.umassmed.edu]

There are a plethora of ways to diagnose pulp necrosis in a tooth. The diagnosis of pulp necrosis can be based on the following observations: negative vitality, a periapical radiolucency, a grey tooth discoloration and even peri-apical lesions. [en.wikipedia.org]

As a response to stimuli, afferent nerve sprouting has been demonstrated, and with it an increase in neuropeptide concentration [ 105 ], which can cause spontaneous pain, allodynia or hyperalgesia in teeth with pulpitis. [journals.plos.org]

In many cases, dentists apply root canal treatment (RCT), which is performed on an average of 7-10 days after replantation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

This study aimed to assess factors associated with occurrence of pulp necrosis (PN) in traumatized primary incisors, which may contribute to the prognosis of this outcome. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
However, the prognosis for the long-term form and function of the tooth is dependent on the size of the lesion. [dentistryiq.com]

Resorption is a condition associated with either physiologic or a pathologic process resulting in a loss of dentin, cementum, and/or bone. (1) The etiology for resorption initiates from various injuries to the tooth, including thermal, mechanical, and [dentistryiq.com]
Common etiologies may include deep caries, extensive restorations, or fractures exposing the pulpal tissues. [decisionsindentistry.com]
Successful management of these infections depends on changing the environment through decompression, removal of the etiologic factor and by choosing the proper antibiotic. [1] Once enamel is dissolved, the infectious caries can travel through the dentinal [emedicine.medscape.com]
They are normal findings within the pulp whose etiology is unknown and observed radiographically. Their size varies from microscopic pulpoliths to concretions that occupy the entire pulp chamber. [onlinedentallearning.com]

Pathophysiology
Pathophysiology Odontogenic infection may be primary or secondary to periodontal, pericoronal, traumatic, or postsurgical infections. A typical odontogenic infection originates from caries, which decalcify the protective enamel. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Prevention
By using new 3T MRI sequences in children with TDI, we could demonstrate that RCT are not necessary in every case, and thus could prevent unnecessary treatment of children in the future. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
