Use of Vital Pulp Therapies in Primary Teeth with Deep Caries Lesions. Springer International Publishing, 2018. In vital primary teeth with deep caries lesions requiring pulp therapy, is one particular therapy (indirect pulp therapy [IPT], direct pulp cap [DPC], pulpotomy) more successful than others? Formocresol has been a popular pulpotomy medicament in the primary dentition and is still the most universally taught pulp treatment for primary teeth. Vital pulp therapy is performed to preserve the health status of the tooth and its ultimate position in the arch for the expected life of the tooth. Although some success has been reported, 179 vital pulp therapy in permanent teeth with a history of pain has generally been contraindicated. 0000063343 00000 n 0000018518 00000 n Maintaining deciduous teeth in function until their natural exfoliation is absolutely necessary. 0000010602 00000 n 0000066347 00000 n METHODS The following databases were searched from 1960 to September 2016: MEDLINE, EMBASE, CENTRAL, EBSCO, … the technique of vital pulpotomy in primary teeth with MTA.

This review is divided into 2 parts: the first aims to illustrate the basic biology of the pulp and the effects on the pulp due to various procedures; the second focuses on the clinical aspects of treatment and the use of various dental materials during different vital pulp therapy procedures performed in the primary and permanent teeth. A guideline panel convened by the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry formulated evidence-based recommendations on three vital pulp therapies: indirect pulp treatment (IPT; also known as indirect pulp cap), direct pulp cap (DPC), and pulpotomy. The rationale for completing a pulpotomy on a primary tooth is based upon the premise that by removing all or partial areas of the affected coronal pulp tissue, there continues to remain vital tissue in the remaining areas of the root canal. Maintaining deciduous teeth in function until their natural exfoliation is absolutely necessary. Although caries targets the dental hard ... regeneration is the present clinically achievable goal for vital pulp therapy in permanent teeth. Review Recent progress in understanding the molecular and cellular changes during tooth development and how they are mimicked during tissue repair, offers the opportunity to assess the biologic validity of the various vital pulp treatments. The primary accepted treatment for this pathology is excision of dentinal infected tissue and restorative replacement with suitable material. Conclusions and practical implications: The guideline intends to inform the clinical practices with evidence-based recommendations on vital pulp therapies in primary teeth with deep caries lesions. 0000091995 00000 n 0000091630 00000 n 0000040784 00000 n Paul K.

In cases of a primary tooth, the length of time for expected life is measured against the expected life of the tooth in the mouth without pulp disease or pulp therapy.
