Debridement vs. dental debridement[edit]

Dental debridement is vastly different, in that it mainly consists of removeing exogenous material from teeth, vs. removing dead/dying tissue. DRosenbach ^{(Talk | Contribs)} 14:47, 6 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Agree, however "oral debridement" may still sometimes refer to removal of dead tissue in certain oral pathologic conditions, e.g. ANUG. Lesion (talk) 18:02, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Endodontal debridement[edit]

"Debridement" can also refer to removal of matter from within the tooth, as in a root canal. Example of usage: "pulpal debridement". This is still within the domain of dentistry, and therefore should be treated in this article ...but it isn't mentioned. —DIV (1.144.106.69 (talk) 12:07, 20 May 2019 (UTC))[reply]
