Important_1: You must correctly diagnose both the pulpal and periapical condition of the teeth. In clinical practice, we often mention only one diagnosis, as one usually implies the other. However, for learning purposes in this course, you are expected to identify both. This will help you better distinguish challenging cases in real-life practice.

Important_2: Symptomatic apical periodontitis corresponds to what is traditionally called acute apical (periapical) periodontitis, while asymptomatic apical periodontitis aligns with chronic apical (periapical) periodontitis. The terms acute and chronic are still commonly used in some regions, especially in Eastern Europe.
