  2. Pulp capping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulp_capping

    Two different types of pulp cap are distinguished. In direct pulp capping, the protective dressing is placed directly over an exposed pulp; and in indirect pulp capping, a thin layer of softened dentin, that if removed would expose the pulp, is left in place and the protective dressing is placed on top.

  3. Crown (dental restoration) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crown_(dental_restoration)

    Preparing a tooth to accept a full coverage crown is relatively destructive. The procedure can damage the pulp irreversibly, through mechanical, thermal and chemical trauma and making the pulp more susceptible to bacterial invasion. [24] Therefore, preparations must be as conservative as possible, whilst producing a strong retentive restoration.

    Pulp capping is a method to protect the pulp chamber if the clinician suspects it may have been exposed by caries or cavity preparation. Indirect pulp caps are indicated for suspected micro-exposures whereas direct pulp caps are place on a visibly exposed pulp.

  5. Apexification - Wikipedia

    Due to its physical properties and biocompatibility, MTA has been used in numerous clinical situations other than as a root-end filling. It is widely used to repair perforations, to close open apices in apexification, as a direct pulp capping material for deep carious tooth, and to cover pulp stumps for apexogenesis.

    Composites and amalgam are used mainly for direct restoration. Composites can be made of color matching the tooth, and the surface can be polished after the filling procedure has been completed. Amalgam fillings expand with age, possibly cracking the tooth and requiring repair and filling replacement, but chance of leakage of filling is less.

  7. Mineral trioxide aggregate - Wikipedia

    It can be used for root-end filling material and as pulp capping material. It has better pulpotomy outcomes than calcium hydroxide or formocresol, and may be the best known material, as of 2018 data. [1] For pulp capping, it has a success rate higher than calcium hydroxide, and indistinguishable from Biodentin. [2]

  8. Deciduous teeth - Wikipedia

    Medicaments are medications placed over the pulp to maintain survival and promote repair. Treatment options include: Indirect pulp capping (IPC) Direct pulp capping (DPC) Pulpotomy; Pulpectomy; Indirect pulp capping (IPC) is a treatment that leaves the deepest carious tooth material (dentin) next to the pulp undisrupted to avoid exposing the ...

    If this occurs, the pulp can be treated by different therapies such as direct pulp capping. Previously it was thought that Pulp capping was most successful if followed by a stainless steel crown, however this procedure is most of the times unnecessary in children. it requires the unnecessary removal of enamel which is key to the life of the tooth.
