Pulp Gangrene, Prevalence, Puskesmas Tabanan IIAbstrak
Pulp gangrene is a dental condition where the pulp tissue has died as the pulp defense system is no longer able to withstand stimulation so that the number of damaged pulp cells increases and occupies most of the pulp space. The occurrence of pulp gangrene is characterized by changes in tooth color that appear brownish or grayish, and in the perforation there is a foul odor resulting from the decay process of germ toxins. From the data obtained, there were 20 cases of pulp gangrene in the UPTD Puskesmas Tabanan II dental polyclinic in December 2023 – February 2024. From the results of epidemiological calculations, it was found that the prevalence of pulp gangrene that had been treated at the UPTD Puskesmas Tabanan II was 0.1%.
