Pediatric Dentistry – 21:2, 1999 Pulpotomy is the treatment of choice for cariously exposed pulps in vital primary teeth. With some modification, the formocresol pulpotomy continues to be used in clinical practice. In an effort to find a more biologically acceptable and effective alternative to formocresol, other agents and techniques have been examined. Non-pharmacologic hemostatic techniques ...

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effects of pulpotomy and pulpectomy on deciduous molars with deep caries. Methods A total of 124 children (192 molars) with deep caries treated from February 2014 to February 2015 were selected. They each had at least one molar with deep caries. MTA pulpotomy (101 molars) and Vitapex pulpectomy (91 molars) as well as prefabricated metal crown repair were ...

Introduction: Preservation of pulp tissue can extend the long-term survival teeth through relatively simple restorative procedures. Objective: To analyze literature on success indirect capping in primary and permanent teeth, as well direct partial complete pulpotomy mature immature teeth. Methodology: An electronic search was performed during January 2022 PubMed, SCOPUS Google Scholar databases...

ABSTRACT Partial pulpotomy is a treatment method used to reach healthy pulp tissue by removal of the inflamed in 1-3 mm depth from caries exposed teeth. Pulpal bleeding should be controlled using bactericidal agents, such as sodium hypochlorite or chlorhexidine, and then covered with biocompatible material, MTA. MTA placed on area surrounding dentate thickness at least 1.5 resin modified glass ...

INTRODUCTION Pulpotomy is a regular procedure in the management of inflamed primary teeth. Diverse materials have been reviewed for the pulpotomy, some of them being formocresol, glutaraldehyde, ferric sulfate, and mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA). AIMS The aim was to evaluate and compare clinically and radiographically the effects of MTA as a pulp dressing after coronal pulp amputation (pulp...

Most pediatric dentists in the United Kingdom and North America1,2 use formocresol pulpotomy for vital primary pulp therapy. In the United Kingdom, 54% of pediatric dentists reported concerns about possible sensitization, toxic, mutagenic or carcinogenic effects of formocresol; 42% of specialists surveyed in 2002 were considering changing their pulp technique to avoid formocresol.1 We performed...

The regeneration of immature permanent teeth following trauma could be beneficial to reduce the risk of fracture and loss of millions of teeth each year. Regenerative endodontic procedures include revascularization, partial pulpotomy, and apexogenesis. Several case reports give these procedures a good prognosis as an alternative to apexification. Care is needed to deliver regenerative endodonti...

The long-term preservation of a permanent tooth is only possible if it has a proper crown-to-root ratio and the dentin walls are sufficiently stable to ensure normal function. After endodontic treatment of carious, young permanent teeth with not yet fully developed roots, apexogenesis and normal root development is only possible if the radicular part of the pulp remains intact.5 Also in this ca...
