Infinite Dust- Procedural game
Kiwi Studio posted a topic in WIP ProjectsOur Journey We are a small team of 2 developers based in Switzerland. We embarked on this adventure 4 years ago. Our project is called "Infinite Dust" and is a Procedural Space Sandbox (yes, another one!). Project History The project was initiated by 2 gaming-enthusiasts in July 2014. It's important to know that at the time we started creating it, this style of game didn't really exist yet; "No Man's Sky" and others had hardly emerged. Nevertheless, we didn't walk away from our universe and continued developing it. Game description Infinite Dust is a RPG/FPS (action, aventure, construction), game that takes place in our galaxy, which is colonized by men in a distant future. As a player, you are an explorer of "The Fleet", a wandering faction in space on the haunt of new habitable planets where you will be able to establish outposts or new colonies. Your main goal is to survive by exploring your environment and exploiting the mineral resources of planets, asteroids and moons – or exploring ruins of forgotten civilizations, shipwrecks and other vestiges from previous wars. As an explorer you will have to be ingenious in the designing and construction of structures that will be able to protect you from wildlife and climate. You will also have to manage the building of vehicles in order to move on land and in the air, which will then end up in becoming even larger vessels to help you explore the interstellar space and its dangers by travelling over longer distances. All these features are possible thanks to a current catalogue of 250 items, including building blocks, modules, mechanisms, consumables etc. Scenario At the moment, there is no such thing as a scenario for the game yet. We would rather describe it as a background in which the universe of Infinite Dust was embedded. The player is free to choose whether he wants to privilege the exploration or the mining of minerals for the construction; in the end, the aim stays the same: to survive and expand your territory. However, if the project reaches a sufficiently advanced stage of development, we will set up a narrative plot in the form of quests, which will lead the player onto several planets. All this in parallel to the progress of the player, in order to unlock some unique items in the game. Demo: gamejolt Video: youtube Facebook: facebook InfiniteDust Twitter: twitter Infinite Dust

Through the Woods, by Emily Carroll, Faber, RRP£12.99, 208 pages
Canadian comics writer Emily Carroll has produced a graphic debut that blends the gothic strangeness of Tim Burton with the macabre illustrations of Edward Gorey to create a wonderfully chilling collection of tales.
Across drawings in a palette of blacks and greys with splashes of blood red, the tales unfold. The largely female cast is threatened not by a purely physical terror but by seemingly psychological conditions made spookily present.
In the first tale, a girl narrates the mysterious disappearance of her two sisters after her father goes hunting. Elsewhere, a disabled bookworm visits her brother and his new wife only to discover something lurking in the woods, and a man claims to have killed his brother – only for him to turn up unscathed.
Eschewing neat endings, Carroll leaves lingering questions: how much is real and how much imagination? Is the haunting just guilt, grief, loneliness, psychosis or something supernatural? Her eerie tales will haunt you.

New Wood River police chief, sergeant sworn in Monday
WOOD RIVER — After the appointment of Brad Wells to Wood River's police chief was announced last month, Wells was officially sworn in to the role Monday.
City Clerk Jan Sneed administered the oath of office to Wells and Wood River Sgt. Josh Timmins at Monday's City Council meeting. A full council chambers showed support from the public as well as previous and retired officers.
"I thank the city manager and the council as well as the mayor for the confidence they have shown in me," said Wells, who was appointed to fill the seat of retiring Police Chief Otis Steward.
Wells said it was humbling to see the amount of people who came to show their support. "It means a lot to me and the friends that I have here, that touches me," he said.
Wells began his career with the Wood River Police Department in 1990 before leaving to join the Madison County Sheriff's Office in 1992. After 23 years with the county, Wells retired as chief deputy sheriff late in January 2015, returning to Wood River as a patrolman a few weeks later.
"I thank you and I won't let you down," Wells said at the end of his speech.
Mayor Cheryl Maguire said the council is looking forward to good things.
"We have confidence in the choices we made and Chief Wells has been giving ideas as well as some changes and updates," she said. "The council is pleased with the direction the city is going."
Also Monday, East Alton-Wood River Superintendent John Pearson gave a presentation on the upcoming countywide school facility tax. The city takes no official position on the measure, Maguire said, but invited Pearson to present in order to inform residents on the issue.
If the tax is passed, it would add a 1-cent sales tax to be used for construction, as well as updating school buildings.
"One thing East Alton-Wood River High School would do with the extra revenue would be to air condition Memorial Gym," said Pearson.
He stated the amount the high school would receive from the tax is $324,000 per year. Counties that have accepted the measure include Jersey, Calhoun and Greene as well as surrounding areas.
The tax question will be on the ballot on March 20, 2018.
The council also held a public hearing regarding the American Disabilities Act Transition Plan. The plan was originally updated in 2015, but each year there is an update on what has been done and what is still to be done.
A copy of the plan is available in the city clerk's office.
Also approved Monday:
• An ordinance authorizing the First Amendment to Agreement #1072 a Water Purchase Contract with Northeast Central County Public Water District, as submitted by the Public Services Director.
• An ordinance authorizing the execution of a Field Practice Agreement with SIUE for acceptance of two students as interns at the Water Treatment Plant, as submitted by the Public Services Director.
• Setting a public hearing on the Proposed Budget for Monday, March 19, 2018 at 7 p.m.in the Council Chambers at City Hall.
• An ordinance authorizing the execution of a 7 year lease-purchase agreement with First National Bank for the purchase of a fire rescue truck in the amount of $114,095 at an interest rate of 3.25 percent as submitted by the Finance Director.

Erotic photo nude beach *** . . My skin pale, reddish lips, and dark hair loose around my face. Clear, wanting. Tonight, I 'm his ass slut. I take myself to the shower, peek down in the stopper, understanding what I must do. I get the lube in the corner of the shower and pour it liberally into my hand. I smear it around my tight, desiring bum, opening it slightly with my finger, preparing it for what's coming. Subsequently I lube up the plug, turn myself towards him so he can see my hot butt. And so I grab the plug firmly in my hand and slide it into place, pushing firmly until I sense my tight ass close around it. And there it is, this small red jewel, observable only to he who understands.

text: Senator Sanders will direct his Attorney General to replicate former Attorney General Janet Reno's efforts to help extend asylum to victims of domestic violence and by classifying unaccompanied minors coming from Latin American and victims of criminal gang activity as distinct groups of people fleeing persecution. This classification will reduce the barriers for these groups to successfully apply for and receive asylum. Additionally, Senator Sanders will restore the credible fear of persecution standard to its pre-2014 level, allowing more people to present their claims to an immigration judge instead of being summarily deported. A Sanders Administration will require DHS to screen arriving immigrants, especially juveniles and families, for humanitarian and immigration relief.

Replacing Mold-Damaged Drywall
The Best Products And Quality in Building Supplies
Mold damage to drywall can occur due to different reasons. For instance, if there's a roof leak or the vapor barrier wasn't properly installed, the mold may begin to form on the walls. Whenever there's constant moisture exposure, mold happens. The mold attaches to the paper facing of the drywall and causes extensive damage. Prolonged exposure to mold can contribute to serious health concerns. You should consider hiring a mold removal expert to get rid of the issue and also identify the main cause of the mold in your property.
Should you remove the moldy drywall?
If you discover mold on your drywall, it's important to take the necessary steps in order to prevent further damage. If you consider yourself a handy person, get the necessary drywall supplies and replace the mold damaged panels. You don't really have to replace the entire drywall. There are ways to remove the affected areas.
Replacing the damaged sections
The reason why we recommend replacing the moldy drywall is that it can be very difficult to remove just a portion of the panel that is affected by the mold. You can easily disturb the mold pores and cause them to spread throughout the wall if you don't remove the affected panels carefully. It's very important to cut out all the damaged portions carefully. If the mold damage is caught early enough, the process of replacing only the damaged portions can work. However, if the mold has already penetrated through the surface of the drywall, you may need to replace the entire drywall.
Cleaning mold on drywall surface
This will only work if the mold has not penetrated through the surface of the drywall. Mold can be removed by simply cleaning the surface with soap and water. Once you're done cleaning, allow the drywall to completely dry. If left wet and it's finished with paint, the mold will easily come back. Make sure you don't clean the surface with any bleach products as they could damage the drywall.
Prevent future mold growth
Drywall is not recommended as an underlayment in extremely moisture-prone areas. You should instead consider using concrete fiber backer board. Also, make sure you locate and repair the source of the leak or whatever problem is causing the mold. You are likely to identify the reason for mold growth when you remove the drywall and expose the framing. If it's hard for you to determine the source of the leak, contact a licensed professional to perform further investigations. You must repair the leak or the mold will form on new drywall that you've installed. Additionally, the leak can create costly issues by damaging the framing, insulation, siding, and flooring reducing the value of your property.
There are some types of mold that are extremely dangerous especially to those who are allergic to mold. This is why having a mold removal specialist advice on the situation is always recommended. Also, ensure that you wear protective clothing when dealing with mold. This includes goggles and a face mask.

Posted on November 9, 2015 by Kelli Crockett
Word Count: 33,827
Dear Reader,
Let's take a minute to recognize the fact that I almost doubled my word count for double-up-day! This was a NaNoWriMo event that I participated in. If you want to see more about the events that they hold throughout the month, just go to nanowrimo.org. A lot of the things that they do are really great, like write-ins and webcasts with bestselling authors. It's also a huge organization that gives writing materials to classrooms around the world and so much more– so get involved!
Today I'm going to talk about catching all of those great writing ideas before they get away. So I have this four year plan that goes along with my writing, and in order to get through that, I'll be writing an average of two books a year… So I need to keep every little idea I can! There was a lot of trial and error that went along with this, so I'll also be telling you what not to do…
There are several things that I've done to help me remember all of my ideas before they get away.
1. This one didn't work very well, was to write them all down on my arm. This one is more of a what-not-to-do. I guess it started in school when I was taking a world History test and something in it sparked an idea. I couldn't just get out my writing binder and write it down, so I just did the next best thing: I wrote it on my arm.
And by this, I mean that I wrote an entire outline on my arm in black ink. It went up to my elbow, all the way around my arm, and on both sides of my hands. My teacher thought I was cheating, and I'm all like, "Do you want to read it?"
Needless to say, after they read the idea for my first book, he didn't think I was cheating. That book was never published–or not yet— but I don't think it will be any time soon. I might rewrite it.
2. Don't write on furniture. Or on anything with permanent marker. I'm serious; it never works out that well.
Now to the useful ones.
3. The next tip I have for you is to keep a small composition notebook in your back pocket or in a bag that you carry around. Again, if you are in the grocery story and get a great idea, you can't just get out a huge binder or your laptop and sit down in the middle of the isle to write. That would be funny, though.
Instead, you can just pull out your little composition notebook, jot down a few key words and a sentence or two, and then go on with your shopping. The only problem I've found is that if you keep it in your back pocket, it can get a little torn up from sitting on it.
4. Finally, and this is the one that works the best for me, is to keep some kind of journal or notebook beside your bed. I get all of my best ideas from dreams. In fact my NaNoWriMo novel started out as a dream before I added in the romance aspect of it and took out the flying meteors.
Also, I like to get ideas from things I see and people I meet throughout the day. These ideas come to me when I lay down to go to sleep, too, because that's after everything I've done that, when I brainstorm ideas. The journal is great for when I suddenly get a great idea in the middle of the night and don't want to wake up to the bright light of my laptop.
5. This last one is kind of a bonus: If you commute really far everyday to or from school, work, etc., then maybe bring a recorder or iphone voice recorder with you. If you get an idea while driving, just press record, talk into the phone or recorder, and press stop. It's a lot safer than trying to write something down or text it to yourself.
I hope these helped you, and if you have any other great ideas, comment them below! I'd love to know!
I post a new NaNoWriMo update every week day on this blog. Like this post if you liked it, and you can follow my website via email, WordPress, or any of the social media widgets on the side. If you are reading this on Goodreads, then you can follow me or add me as a friend!
Also, for one day of NaNoWriMo I will do a Q&A about me, my work, or NaNoWriMo, so if you have questions then comment below or on the Q&A page.
Thanks everyone for reading!

In Japan, May 5 is Children's Day, known as Kodomo-no-hi, which celebrates the health and happiness of children. Though it was previously known as Boy's Day, the date was made a national holiday celebrating all children in 1948.
One of the most recognized traditions associated with Children's Day is the hanging of carp streamers, or koi-nobori, like these. In Japan, the carp represents courage and perseverance, qualities that it is known for as it swims upstream against the current. Families hang the kites outside of their houses to symbolize the wish for their children to grow up brave and strong. Because the tradition dates to when the holiday specifically focused on male children, the streamers are more associated with boys.
Koi-nobori are typically flown from a pole topped with a spinning ornament. Just below the ornament is a flying-dragon streamer, which looks like a windsock. Below that are the carp streamers, in decreasing size: first, a black koi-nobori for the father, then a red or pink koi-nobori for the mother, followed by smaller carp of different colors for each child.
This set of carp streamers is on exhibit through June 1 in Children's Holidays in Japan.

Ned Potter interviews Terry Kendrick in Marketing Your Library | American Libraries Magazine. You don't get better library marketing advice than this!
Terry Kendrick
Discovering thewikiman
Today – thanks to the miracle of pingbacks – I had the great pleasure to discover thewikiman blog. Joy of joys, this blog by Ned Potter also covers marketing and advocacy, along with technology trends and a host of other information professional topics. I've previously posted Ned's excellent presentation So you want to work in libraries, but had failed to discover his blog. Ned has a book on marketing underway – you can read all about it and take in the excellent feedback he has from his readers, including some from none other than Terry Kendrick. Terry is the author of Developing strategic marketing plans that really work and is not surprisingly an advocate of applying a bit of strategic focus to the subject 🙂
Useful book: Developing strategic marketing plans that really work
While running a search on libraries and marketing I came across a book review on Developing strategic marketing plans that really work: a toolkit for public libraries, by Terry Kendrick.
I haven't seen the book myself, but the review by Philip Calvert (Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand) indicates it's a very worthwhile one to consult – a book that is practical and one that helps convert theory into practice. I'm interested that:
In later chapters Kendrick discusses the market for public library services, and how to discover more about this by market research to help in the creation of a community profile. He goes to describe how the market can be segmented and a value proposition written for each segment.

In a video, released last night, ISIS prisoner John Cantlie "reports" from Kobani, the northern Syrian Kurdish town that has been under siege by the militants for over a month, purporting to debunk the Western media narrative about the battle while promulgating ISIS's own version of the story. "Perhaps what's most odd about the video," Adam Taylor comments, "is how much it apes the Western media it criticizes":
The video begins with a logo "Inside 'Ayn al Islam' " (a reference to what the Islamic State calls Kobane) and makes use of a number of relatively sophisticated graphics throughout. Cantlie, who may have been speaking under duress, brings to mind BBC correspondents in his presentation. The Islamic State also uses the video to give its cynical version of recent events, notably suggesting that "good old John Kerry" has been criticizing "Kurd-hating Turkish President Erdogan." Cantlie also makes reference to the cost of American airstrikes in Kobane ("almost half a billion dollars in total") and a U.S. airdrop that accidentally landed in the hands of the Islamic State. "The mujahideen is now being resupplied, by the hopeless U.S. Air Force, who parachuted two crates of weapons and ammunition straight into the outstretched arms of the mujahideen," he says.
This new video is very different from previous propaganda items featuring Cantlie, which have shown him in prison garb, discussing his captivity. Jamie Dettmer wonders what's up with that:
In the "Lend Me Your Ears" series, the British freelance photojournalist emphasizes that he is a prisoner of the Islamic State, widely known as ISIS or ISIL, and doesn't know whether he will live or die. But in Monday night's five-and-a-half minute clip, titled "Inside Ayn al-Islam" (the Arabic name for Kobani is Ayn al-Arab), the 43-year-old Cantlie makes no reference to his captivity, raising questions about whether he has crossed the line and is now a willing propagandist for the jihadists behind the camera.
Dan Murphy cautions us not to make too much of it, partly in order to avoid handing ISIS a propaganda victory:
Not that IS will care, but using captives as a propaganda prop – terrorized by the murder of fellow captives and the threat to their own lives – is a clear violation of the Geneva Conventions. To be sure, this crime seems minor when held up against their executions of helpless captives, enslaving of women and children for sexual and other purposes, and their stated goal of wiping out everyone on the planet who doesn't practice their particular version of Islam. But the press needs to walk a careful line in not uncritically broadcasting the group's propaganda, effectively rewarding them for their abuse of Cantlie.

At design-time, HEADS IDE will provide the different HEADS actors with modelling languages, editors and tools to engineer HD-services.
ThingML is as a domain-specific modeling language which includes concepts to describe both software components and communication protocols. The formalism used is a combination of architecture models, state machines and an imperative action language similar to concepts found e.g. in UML2. ThingML also provides a set of compilers (currently targeting C and Java-based platforms) in order to produce fully executable code from ThingML specifications. ThingML will both support the platform experts and service developers to define (respectively) drivers and business logic.
To express advanced analysis of sensors data, the CEP logic will be defined by the Event Processing language EPL. It contains besides descriptive event query support in an SQL-oriented style also a complete procedural language. There are a set of Eclipse plugins, which support the design of EPL specifications. This contains an Eclipse editor for EPL with features like dynamic compilation, syntax highlighting and auto completion. Special support is given for defining the structure of events by so called event types. For the communication with many common data sources adapters are available to convert the structure descriptions like XML schema, RDBMS schema to Event types. The runtime contains the corresponding support for converting the data to the internal event format of the engine.

Photo of Obama causes stir on Internet
February 25, 2008
Circulation of photo from Kenya visit may constitute smear
WASHINGTON – A photograph circulating in the Internet of Democratic Sen. Barack Obama dressed in traditional local garments during a visit to Kenya in 2006 is causing a dustup in the presidential campaign over what constitutes a smear.
The photograph portrays Obama wearing a white turban and a wraparound white robe presented to him by elders in Wajir, in northeastern Kenya. Obama's estranged late father was Kenyan and Obama visited the country in 2006, attracting thousands of well-wishers.
Circulation banter
The gossip and news Web site The Drudge Report posted the photograph Monday and said it was being circulated by "Clinton staffers" and quoted an e-mail from an unidentified campaign aide.

Former Apple software Vice President Scott Forstall has focussed on Broadway productions since leaving Silicon Valley. However, he does occasionally hark back to his time in tech. He did that in an October episode of the Philosophy Talk podcast, the full video of which was posted on YouTube on Tuesday. The interview, noticed by 9to5Mac, gives a fascinating insight into creativity and working for Steve Jobs. Mr. Forstall also discussed Apple TV, which he said came from somebody presenting him with the idea of a 10-ft user interface. It "was invented because someone was encouraged to do whatever they wanted for a month," Mr. Forstall explained.

Don't you wish calculating and billing sewer usage charges was as easy as…turning a faucet? With Black Mountain Software's usage averaging features, it can be!
Many of our water and sewer customers bill more than a flat rate for sewer charges. Since water usage is a metered and measurable number, many utilities calculate sewer usage by calculating the amount of sewer expected to flow based on the amount of water used.
In warmer months, customers water their lawns and gardens. During this time, water goes into the ground instead of the sewer system, so it's unfair to charge for sewer based fully on water usage. Read more >

The Home-based Super Eagles will leave for Morocco on Monday, January 8 ahead of their participation at the 2018 African Nations Championship.
The players and their officials will travel to the North African country in the evening via the Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport, Abuja.
Salisu Yusuf's charges were earlier expected to depart the country on Wednesday for Morocco, but no reason was given for their inability to proceed on the trip as originally scheduled..
Salisu has already picked 23 players for the 2018 edition of the biennial tournament designed for players plying their trade in their countries' domestic leagues.
Of the 23 players, only the quartet of Ikechukwu Ezenwa, Osas Okoro, Stephen Eze and Kalu Orji were part of the team that represented the country at the last edition in Rwanda, while midfielder Rabiu Ali was in the team that came third four years ago in South Africa.
Other notable names in the list are; Anthony Okpotu, Ifeanyi Ifeanyi, Sunday Faleye, Dele Ajiboye and Peter Eneji.
The team co-ordinator Patrick Pascal stated that all arrangements have been put in place to ensure a hitch-free journey and is also confident the team will have a good outing in Morocco.
"We are leaving for Morocco tomorrow. All the necessary things have been put in place to make the trip comfortable for us," Pascal said from the team's Bolton White Hotel and Apartments Abuja base on Sunday morning.
"Our target is to win the trophy and we will do all we can to achieve that."

The competition will run from January 13 to February 4 2018 in Morocco.

Freeride World Tour Champion 2010 Aline Bock about Splitboard Touring and Safety. Learn from the pros how they reduce their risk and still ride impressive lines in the backcountry. Reflect your own skills and safety strategies.
Aline Bock: I have been snowboarding for over 17 years and in this time it has grown from my hobby to my passion and my job. I rode halfpipe contests at first and then moved on to riding slopestyle contests and finally to the big mountain freeride competitions. It has always been fun for me to travel to different places, to be out in the mountains and meet other riders with the same passion, to compete, take photos or film and nowadays to be out in the backcountry with my splitboard avoiding the crowds. I have a very large lust for life and I am always on the lookout for a new and exciting adventure.
What would you prefer if you put yourself in the position of a "normal" snowboarder, some good splitboard routes or some beautiful freeriding days in the skiresort?
Most of the time my riding choice depends on the weather and snow situation. If it's dumping really hard with bad visibility, I just love to ride in a resort with loads of good tree runs. You can get so much riding in, as there will always be some fresh powder pillows around. Splitboarding for me has something to do with training, being in the nature on my own, becoming fit or even to overcome my weaker. And at the end there is nothing better than a cool hike in the sun, completed with a stunning mountain view knowing that my decent will be completely untracked.
Beeing a snowboardpro, what do you prefer a day of heliboarding or splitboarding and why?
I think you cannot really compare it that way. It's a different way of riding. When you are filming, it´s just so much easier to jump in a helicopter, get dropped off, and 15 min later you are ready to go. You sometimes have to choose your line in order how it would look best for the camera. It's very hectic and fast and I am always super nervous but also excited.
Splitboarding for me has nothing to do with being fast. I take my time for the hike. I am enjoying the nature and silence – hoping that there is no storm coming in ;) I study my way up and also down for a longer time and take my time for a good lunch or chocolate break on the top!
If you enter unknown areas (you just know it from the map), how do you manage keeping the risk as low as possible e.g. traversing a summit from south to north?
You need to inform yourself about conditions, snow layers, wind, weather predictions before you choose where to go. Check the internet and also local guides. Never just go and risk anything. It's not worth it!
What is your strategy to reduce your risk to the maximum in general and still beeing able to ride impressive (amazing) lines.
I think I know where my boundaries are. I am checking exit lines or trying to be aware of my slough management. I am not taking any risks, if I am not sure that I can do it or not. Last but not least I am listening to my stomach. Most of the time it tells me when to pull back and choose a different line. But when I know, that I can do it…I charge and ride fast…It's the most fun ☺
Do you have any suggestions for splitboard beginners or advanced riders regarding the ascent and the descent?
I would suggest to just start with easy lines and easy hikes at good weather conditions. Nothing is more depressing when you loose energy and motivation on a long exhausting hike up or difficult decent. It should always be fun and enjoyable. Also a very important advice would be: always take your splitboard crampons with you. So in any case you are save and secure.
What board profile do you normally ride, Rocker , Camber or Hybrid?
Rocker…on powderdays!!! Camber if snow conditions are poor!
How would you describe a splitboarding day with your friends in one sentence?
There is nothing better than a fun day with friends out in the backcountry enjoying nature. Spending a cool day in the mountains can be magical! Just never forget : Safety first!!!
Thanks Aline for the interview and your motivation to participate.

1. Bacteria and bacterial irritants: bacteria are a main cause of pulpal inflammation. Bacteria or their products may enter pulp through a break in dentin either from:
2. Traumatic
a) Acute trauma like fracture, luxation or avulsion of tooth.
b) Chronic trauma including para-functional habits like bruxism.
3. Iatrogenic (Pulp inflammation for which the dentists own procedures are responsible is designated as Dentistogenic pulpitis). Various iatrogenic causes of
pulpal damage can be:
a. Thermal changes generated by cutting procedures, during restorative procedures, bleaching of enamel, electrosurgical procedures, laser beam, etc. can cause severe damage to the pulp if not controlled.
b. Orthodontic movement
c. Periodontal curettage
d. Periapical curettage
e. chemicals: A use of chemicals like temporary and permanent fillings, liners and bases and use of cavity desiccants such as alcohol.
4. Idiopathic
a. Aging
Pulp reacts to above mentioned irritants as do other connective tissues. Degree of inflammation is proportional to intensity and severity of tissue damage. For example, slight irritation like incipient caries or shallow tooth preparation cause little or no pulpal inflammation, whereas extensive operative procedures may lead to severe pulpal inflammation. Depending on condition of pulp, severity and duration of irritant, host response, pulp may respond from mild inflammation to pulp necrosis. These changes may not be accompanied by pain and thus may proceed unnoticed.
Carious enamel and dentin contains numerous bacteria
Bacteria penetrate in deeper layers of carious dentin
Pulp is affected before actual invasion of bacteria via their
toxic byproducts
Byproducts cause local chronic cell infiltration
When actual pulp exposure occurs pulp tissue gets locally infiltrated by PMNs to form an area of liquefaction necrosis at the site of exposure
Eventually necrosis spreads all across the pulp and periapical tissue resulting in severe inflammatory lesion.
• Subjective symptoms—most common being pain
• Objective symptoms
1. Visual and tactile inspection — 3Cs rule–
i. Color
ii. Contour
iii. Consistency
2. Thermal tests
i. Heat tests— isolation of tooth — use of:
– Warm air
– Hot water
– Hot burnisher
– Hot gutta-percha stick
ii. Cold tests:
– Ethyl chloride spray
– Ice pencils
– CO2 snow — temperature 18ºC
3. Electrical pulp testing
4. Radiographs
5. Anesthetic tests
6. Bite test
7. Cavity test
Recent advances in diagnostic aids for pulpal pathology
When caries and operative procedures interrupt this natural barrier, dentinal tubules become permeable. So inflammation can be caused by any agent which is capable of injuring pulp.
It can be:
• Trauma
• Thermal injury
– While doing tooth preparation
– Overheating during polishing of a restoration
• Chemical stimulus—Like sweet or sour foodstuff
• Following insertion of a deep restoration
1. Pain: It is sharp but of brief duration, ceasing when irritant is removed.
2. Visual examination and history: It may reveal caries, traumatic occlusion and undetected fracture.
3. Radiographs: These show normal PDL and lamina dura.– Depth of caries or restoration may be evident.
4. Percussion test: It shows negative responses, i.e. tooth is not tender to percussion.
5. Vitality test: Pulp responds readily to cold stimuli. Electric pulp tester requires less current to cause pain.
• No endodontic treatment is needed for this condition. The best treatment of reversible pulpitis is prevention.
• Usually, a sedative dressing is placed, followed by permanent restoration when symptoms completely subside.
• Periodic care to prevent caries, desensitization of hypersensitive teeth and use of cavity varnish or base before insertion of restoration is recommended.
• If pain persists inspite of proper treatment, pulpal inflammation should be considered as irreversible and it should be treated by pulp extirpation.
It is a persistent inflammatory condition of the pulp, symptomatic or asymptomatic, caused by a noxious stimulus. It has both acute and chronic stages in pulp.
• Most common cause of pulpitis is bacterial involvement of pulp through caries
• Chemical, thermal, mechanical, traumatic injuries of pulp may induce pulp inflammation
• Reversible pulpitis when left untreated deteriorates into irreversible pulpitis.
• A rapid onset of pain, which can be caused by sudden temperature change, sweet or acidic food. Pain remains even after removal of stimulus
• Pain can be spontaneous in nature which is sharp, piercing, intermittent or continuous in nature
• Pain exacerbated on bending down or lying down due to change in intrapulpal pressure
• Presence of referred pain
• In later stages, pain is severe, boring, throbbing in nature which increases with hot stimulus. Pain is so severe that it keeps the patient awake in night. The relief of pain can be simply done by use of cold water. The patient may report dental office with jar of ice water.
2. Radiographic findings:
– May show depth and extent of caries.
– Periapical area shows normal appearance but a slight widening may be evident in advanced stages of pulpitis.
4. Vitality tests:
i. Thermal test: Hyperalgesic pulp responds more readily to cold stimulation than for normal tooth, pain may persist even after removal of irritant.
As the pulpal inflammation progresses, heat intensifies the response because it has expansible effect on blood vessels. Cold tends to relieve pain because of its contractile effect on vessels, reducing the intrapulpal pressure.
ii. Electric test: Less current is required in initial stages. As tissue becomes more necrotic, more current is required.
Pulpectomy (root canal treatment).
a. Ulcerative/open form
b. Hyperplastic form
c. Closed form.
a. Ulcerative form is a chronic inflammation of cariously exposed pulp characterized by formation of an abscess at point of exposure (Fig. 3.20). Abscess is surrounded by granulomatous tissue. This condition is also known as pulpal granuloma.
b. Hyperplastic form is overgrowth of granulomatous tissue into carious cavity.
c. Closed form of chronic pulpitis may occur from operative procedures, excessive orthodontic forces, trauma or periodontal lesions. Here carious lesion is absent.
Etiology is same as that of irreversible pulpitis. It is normally caused by slow and progressive carious exposure of pulp.
• Pain is absent.
• Symptoms develop only when there is interference with drainage of exudate
• Hyperplastic form of chronic pulpitis is seen in teeth of children and adolescents in which pulp tissue has high resistance and large carious lesion permit free proliferation of hyperplastic tissue. Since it contains few nerve fibers, it is non-painful but bleeds easily due to rich network of blood vessels.
• Pain:It is usually absent.
• Hyperplastic form shows a fleshy, reddish pulpal mass which fills most of pulp chamber or cavity. It is less sensitive than normal pulp but bleeds easily when probed.
• Radiographic changes show:
– Chronic apical periodontitis in longstanding cases.
– In young patients, low grade longstanding irritation stimulates periapical bone deposition, i.e. condensing osteitis. Radiograph shows areas of dense bone around apices of involved teeth.
– Tooth may respond feebly or not at all to thermal test, unless one uses extreme cold
– More current than normal is required to elicit response by electric pulp tester.
• Complete removal of pulp followed by its restoration should be the goal of treatment. In case of hyperplastic pulpitis, removal of polypoid tissue with periodontal curette or spoon excavator followed by extirpation of pulp should be done
• If tooth is in non-restorable stage, it should be extracted.
Necrosis is caused by noxious insult and injuries to pulp by bacteria, trauma, and chemical irritation.
• Discoloration of tooth—First indication of pulp death
• History from patient
• Tooth might be asymptomatic.
1. Pain: It is absent in complete necrosis.
2. History of patient reveals past trauma or past history of severe pain which may last for some time followed by complete and sudden cessation of pain.
3. Radiographic changes:Radiograph shows a large cavity or restoration
4. Vitality test: Tooth is nonresponding to vitality tests. But multirooted teeth may show mixed response because only one canal may have necrotic tissue.
5. Visual examination:Tooth shows color change like dull or opaque appearance due to lack of normal translucency
Complete removal of pulp(R.C.T) followed by restoration or extraction of nonrestorable tooth.
It may occur in following forms:
1. Atrophic degeneration and fibrosis
It is a decrease in size of pulp space which occurs slowly as tooth grows old
2. Calcifications
In calcific degeneration, part of the pulp tissue is replaced by calcific material. Mainly three types of calcifications are seen in pulp:
According to location:
• Embedded
According to structure:
• False
False denticles: Here degenerated tissue structures act as nidus for deposition of concentric layers of calcified tissues.
Exact etiology is unknown. Patient often presents with history of trauma, persistent chronic pulpitis, history of pulpotomy, crown preparation, force from orthodontic treatment, impacted teeth,…etc.
• Usually asymptomatic, recognized clinically through routine radiograph (especially in the root)
• Pain occurs in cases of perforation of crown.
• "Pink Tooth" is the pathognomic feature of internal root resorption (especially in the crown).
• Clinically:"Pink Tooth" appearance
• Radiographic changes:
– Radiolucent enlargement of pulp canal
– Original root canal outline distorted
– Bone changes are seen only when root perforation into periodontal ligament takes place.
• Pulp tests: Positive, though coronal portion of pulp is necrotic, apical pulp could be vital
• Pulp extirpation stops internal root resorption.
• Surgically treatment is indicated if conventional treatment fails.
• Apical root resorption
• Lateral root resorption
• Cervical root resorption.
The same as internal root resorption but here it is mostly associated with trauma to the teeth that injure the cementum. Other factors include:
• Infected necrotic pulp
• Over instrumentation during root canal treatment
• Granuloma/cyst applying excessive pressure on tooth root
• Replantation of teeth
• Adjacent impacted tooth.
• Asymptomatic during development
• When root is completely resorbed, tooth becomes mobile
• When external root resorption extends to crown, it gives "Pink tooth" appearance
• When replacement resorption/ankylosis occur, tooth becomes immobile with characteristic high percussion sound
Radiographic Features
• Radiolucency at root and adjacent bone
• Irregular shortening or thinning of root
• Loss of Lamina dura.
• Remove stimulus of underlying inflammation.
• Nonsurgical endodontic treatment should be attempted before surgical treatment is initiated.
- Anachoresis also accounts for microbial infection in teeth.
- Microorganisms may invade pulp from periodontal pocket and accessory canals
• Persistent periapical tissue compression from traumatic occlusion leads to apical inflammatory response.
1. It is impossible to extirpate pulp without initiating an inflammatory response because a wound is created.
2. Using strong or excessive amounts of intracanal medicaments between appointments may induce periapical inflammation.
3. Improper manipulation of instruments within root canal or over instrumentation can force dentinal debris, irrigating solution and toxic components of necrotic tissue in the periapex.
4. Overextended endodontic filling material may induce periapical inflammation by directly inducing foreign body reaction
Periapical lesions may include:
a. In vital tooth, it is associated with occlusal trauma, high points in restoration or wedging or forcing object between teeth.
b. In nonvital tooth, AAP is associated with sequelae to pulpal diseases.
c. Iatrogenic causes can be over instrumentation of root canal pushing debris and microorganisms beyond apex, overextended obturation and root perforations.
• Tooth is tender on percussion
• Dull, throbbing and constant pain
• Pain occurs over a short period of time
• Negative or delayed vitality test
• No swelling
• Pain on biting
• Cold may relieve pain or no reaction
• Heat may exacerbate pain or no reaction
• No radiographic sign; sometimes widening of periodontal ligament space.
Management of acute apical periodontitis:
• Endodontic therapy
• To control postoperative pain following initial endodontic therapy, analgesics are prescribed
• Use of antibiotics, either alone or in conjunction with root canal therapy is not recommended
• If tooth is in hyperocclusion, relieve the occlusion
• For some patients and in certain situations, extraction is an alternative to endodontic therapy.
• Most common cause is invasion of bacteria from necrotic pulp tissue.
• trauma, chemical or any mechanical injury resulting in pulp necrosis.
• Irritation of periapical tissue by chemical or mechanical treatment during root canal treatment.
• Tooth is nonvital
• Pain
– Rapid onset
– Slight to intense throbbing pain
– Marked pain to biting
• Swelling
– Palpable, fluctuant
– Localized sense of fullness
• Mobility
May or may not be present
• Tooth may be in hyperocclusion
• Radiographic changes: small change to large periapical radiolucency
In early stage, there is tenderness of tooth which is relieved by continued slight pressure on extruded tooth to push it back into alveolus. Later on throbbing pain develops with diffuse swelling of overlying tissue. Tooth becomes more painful,
elongated and mobile as infection increases in latter stages. Patient may have systemic symptoms like fever, increased WBC count. Spread of lesion towards a surface may take place causing erosion of cortical bone or it may become diffuse and spread widely leading to formation of cellulitis. Location of swelling is determined by relation of apex of involved tooth to adjacent muscle attachment.
• Clinical examination
• Initially locating the offending tooth is difficult due to the diffuse pain. Location of the offending tooth becomes easier when tooth gets slightly extruded from the socket.
• Pulp vitality tests give negative response
• Tenderness on percussion and palpation.
• Tooth may be slightly mobile and extruded from its socket.
• Radiography helpful in determining the affected tooth as it shows a cavity or evidence of bone destruction at root apex.
Management of an Acute Apical Abscess
• Drainage of the abscess should be initiated as early as possible. This may include:
a. Non-surgical endodontic treatment (Root canal therapy)
b. Incision and drainage
c. Extraction
• Considerations regarding the treatment should be dependent on certain factors:
a. Prognosis of the tooth
b. Patient preference
c. Strategic value of the tooth
d. Economic status of the patient
• In case of localized infections, systemic antibiotics provide no additional benefit over drainage of the abscess
• In the case of systemic complications such as fever, lymphadenopathy, cellulitis or patient who is immunocompromised, antibiotics should be given in addition to
drainage of the tooth
• Relieve the tooth out of occlusion in hyperocclusion cases
• To control postoperative pain following endodontic therapy, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs should be given
Chronic periradicular lesions such as granulomas are in a state of equilibrium during which they can be completely asymptomatic. But sometimes, influx of necrotic products from diseased pulp or bacteria and their toxins can cause the dormant lesion to react. This leads to initiation of acute inflammatory response.
• Clinically often indistinguishable from acute apical abscess
• At the onset—tenderness of tooth and elevation of the tooth from socket
• Tenderness on palpating the apical soft tissue.
• Associated with initiation of root canal treatment most commonly
• History from patient
• Pulp tests show negative response
• Radiographs show large area of radiolucency in the apex created by inflammatory connective tissue which has replaced the alveolar bone at the root apex
• Phoenix abscess should be differentiated from acute alveolar abscess by patient's history, symptoms and clinical tests results.
• Establishment of drainage
• Once symptoms subside—complete root canal treatment.
Periapical granuloma is a cell mediated response to pulpal bacterial products. Bacterial and toxins cause mild irritation of periapical tissues. This leads to cellular proliferation and thus granuloma formation.
• Most of the cases are asymptomatic but sometimes pain and sensitivity is seen when acute exacerbation occurs
• Tooth is not sensitive to percussion
• No mobility
• Soft tissue overlying the area may/may not be tender
• No response to thermal or electric pulp test
• Mostly, lesions are discovered on routine radiographic examination.
Radiographic Features
• Mostly discovered on routine radiographic examination
• The earliest change in the periodontal ligament is found to be thickening of ligament at the root apex
• Lesion may be well circumscribed or poorly defined
• Size may vary from small lesion to large radiolucency exceeding more than 2 cm in diameter.
• Some amount of root resorption has been reported.
Main objective in treatment is to reduce and eliminate offending organisms and irritants from the periapical area.
• In restorable tooth, root canal therapy is preferred
• In non-restorable tooth, extraction followed by curettage of all apical soft tissue.
• Caries
• The cyst is frequently asymptomatic and sometimes it is discovered when periapical radiographs are taken of teeth with nonvital pulps
• Incidence - Males are affected more than females.
• Age - Peak incidence in third or fourth decades.
• Site - Highest in anterior maxilla
- In mandibular posterior teeth, separate small cysts arise from each apex of multi-rooted teeth.
• Slowly enlarging swelling sometimes attains a large size.
• As the cyst enlarges in size, the covering bone becomes thin in size and exhibits springiness due to fluctuation.
• In maxilla, palatal expansion is mainly seen in case of maxillary lateral incisor.
• The involved tooth/teeth usually found to be nonvital, discolored, fractured or failed root canal.
Radiographically radicular cyst appears as round, pear or ovoid shaped radiolucency, outlined by a narrow radiopaque margin
Different options for management of residual cyst are:
• Endodontic treatment
• Apicoectomy
• Extraction (severe bone loss)
• Enucleation with primary closure
• Marsupilization (in case of large cysts).
It is similar to acute alveolar abscess. It also results from pulpal necrosis and is associated with chronic apical periodontitis that has formed an abscess. The abscess has penetrated through bone and soft tissue to form a sinus react stoma on the oral mucosa.
• Generally asymptomatic
• Detected either by the presence of a sinus tract or on routine radiograph
• In case of open carious cavity—drainage through root canal sinus tract prevents swelling or exacerbation of lesion
Chronic apical abscess may be associated with asymptomatic or slightly symptomatic tooth. Patient may give history of sudden sharp pain which subsided and has not reoccurred. Clinical examination may show a large carious exposure, a restoration of composite, acrylic, amalgam or metal, or discoloration of crown of tooth.
It is associated symptoms only if sinus drainage tract become blocked. Vitality tests show negative response because of presence of necrotic pulps.
Removal of irritants from root canal and establishing drainage is main objective of the treatment. Sinus tract resolve following root canal treatment removing the irritants.
