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...

The field of dentistry is constantly changing with the introduction new materials and techniques that resulted in good treatment outcome.Bio-ceramics are amongst recently introduced which have changed face dentistry. Bioceramics biocompatible, nontoxic, non-shrinking usually chemically stable within biological environment.The development bioceramic based has greatly improved dentist’s possibili...

UNLABELLED Evidence-based dentistry is a critical evaluation, awareness of the available evidence to improve decision making about the care of individual patients and/or communities. OBJECTIVE To systematically analyze the available scientific literature on clinical and radiographic results of two materials used in pulpotomy in primary teeth: formocresol and mineral trioxide aggregate. MATE...

Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) has recently been used as a pulpotomy medicament for primary molars. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the proliferation and differentiation potential of dental pulp stromal cells of permanent teeth and deciduous teeth cultured on MTA-coated surface. Human dental pulp stromal cells were obtained from human permanent premolars and deciduous teeth ...

The purpose of this study was to determine the level of agreement between pediatric dentists and endodontists at a pulp therapy symposium conjointly sponsored by the American Association of Endodontists (AAE) and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) on November 2-3, 2007. Presymposium and postsymposium tests were administered, and respondent answers were compared between pediatric...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to evaluate four different pulpotomy medicaments in primary molars. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 147 primary molars with deep caries were treated with four different pulpotomy medicaments (FC: formocresol, FS: ferric sulfate, CH: calcium hydroxide, and MTA: mineral trioxide aggregate) in this study. The criteria for tooth selection for inclusion were no ...

A student once told me that he preferred to work with another instructor because I took too long to make clinical decisions. When 1 asked him why, he gave me several examples of situations in which I had deliberated upon too long for his liking. None of these was simple in my opinion, nor did I agree with the other instructor's solutions. My dismay and introspection about this student's revelat...

The aim of this study was to evaluate histological aspects of the pulp-dentin complex of dogs submitted to pulpotomy and capped with ethyl-cyanoacrylate and calcium hydroxide. Thirty dog teeth were divided into 2 groups of 15 as follows: Group 1 - ethyl-cyanoacrylate; Group 2 - calcium hydroxide. The pulpotomies were carried out following all of the treatment precautions recommended for dogs. A...

Pulpal necrosis of an immature permanent tooth with an open apex poses a challenge for the clinician. The conventional apexification technique using calcium hydroxide has yielded short-term success, but this technique has inevitable shortcomings. Hence, this case series aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of using bioceramics (iRoot BP) or mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) for partial pulpotomie...
