<p>Pulpal and periradicular diagnosis<br>Captain Gary G. Goodell, DC, USN, Commander Patricia A. Tordik, DC, USN, and Captain H. Dwight Moss, DC, USN<br><br>Purpose<br>In the fall of 2003, a new Glossary of Endodontic Terms was published by the American Association of Endodontists. In August of 2004, a Clinical Update was published to inform clinicians of revised terminology for endodontic diagnosis. The purpose of this Clinical Update is to inform clinicians of further revisions to this terminology.<br><br>The significant changes are primarily in the classification of chronic periradicular periodontitis with symptoms. This term has been eliminated and is now considered historical.<br><br>It is critically important to have standard diagnostic terminology because of the wide variety of training backgrounds of military dental officers and contract dentists. Standardization of terms will improve communication between all clinicians.
