    (f) Inflammation of the pulp associated with inflammation of the alveolar dental perios- teum. (d) Rupture and death of the pulp associated with inflammation of the alveolar dental periosteum. Sii^^ns ajid Symptoms.—These will depend upon the result. Jf (a), there will be slight looseness and extrusion of the tooth, and pain on pressure. Resolu- tion usually soon takes place. If {b), pressure will result in severe pain, and the looseness and extrusion will be more notice- able. Resolution may occur, but the in- flammation may involve the pulp. If (c)^the looseness of the tooth, extrusion, and pain on pressure will be accompanied by pain of a sharp lancinating character, which may sometimes be referred to another tooth. Slight thermal changes will produce severe pain. Should suppuration of the pulp spreading to the alveolar dental periosteum take place, thermal changes will not cause pain, but pressure will produce severe pain of a throbbing character. If {d), there may be simply looseness of the tooth, extrusion, and slight pain on pressure, due to the condition of the alveolar dental periosteum, but, later on, marked dis-. coloration of the tooth, due, according to some authorities, to the passage into the dentinal tubes of the haemoglobin of the blood, results. Suppuration of the pulp may occur and then the symptoms will be as in Cc).
