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.
These "minimal intervention" approaches reduce some of the adverse consequences associated with carrying out restorative treatment: conservation of tooth structure and integrity, maintenance of maximum pulpal floor dentinal thickness, which reduces the impact on pulpal health; [17] reduced pulp exposure, and less need for local anaesthesia if ...
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 ...
