[Correlation between clinical diagnosis and histopathological diagnosis in pulp pathology]

The objective of this project was to establish a comparison between methodology for evaluating pulpar responses, in order to establish clinical diagnosis and actual condition of the pulpar organ as analysed under photonic microscopy. Accordingly, 54 specimens of single-root, teeth, from patients attending the Endodontics Clinic, were used for study. Clinical diagnoses were correlated with histopathologic findings, having found only one case (1.85%) of clinical and histological similarity.
