The diagnosis of inflamed pulp tissue is

  1. Apical abscess

  2. Pulpitis

  3. Periodontitis

  4. Gingivitis

The correct answer is: Pulpitis

Inflamed pulp tissue refers to the inflammation of the connective tissue and blood vessels within the pulp of a tooth. This is commonly known as pulpitis and is caused by various factors such as dental caries, trauma, or infection. This condition is separate from apical abscess, which is an infection at the root of a tooth, and periodontitis, which is the inflammation of the tissues surrounding the tooth. Gingivitis is also a different condition that only affects the gums and not the pulp tissue. Therefore, out of all the given choices, pulpitis is the correct diagnosis for inflamed pulp tissue.
