Insert to the Fall/Winter edition of Endodontics: Colleagues for Excellence; 1996. Indirect pulp treatment is a procedure performed in a tooth with a diagnosis of reversible pulpitis and deep caries that might otherwise need endodontic therapy if the decay was completely removed.6  In recent years, rather than complete the caries removal in two appointments, the focus has been to excavate as close as possible to the pulp, place a protective liner, and restore the tooth without a subsequent reentry to remove any remaining affected dentin.79-83  The risk of this approach is either an unintentional pulp exposure or irreversible pulpitis.80  More recently, the step-wise excavation of deep caries has been revisited72-84 and shown to be successful in managing reversible pulpitis without pulpal perforation and/or endodontic therapy.85  This approach involves a two-step process.

The clinician should monitor the internal resorption, removing the affected tooth if perforation causes loss of supportive bone and/or clinical signs of infection and inflammation. Apexification is a method of inducing root end closure of an incompletely formed nonvital permanent tooth by removing the coronal and nonvital radicular tissue just short of the root end and placing a biocompatible agent such as calcium hydroxide in the canals for two to four weeks to disinfect the canal space. Indications: The pulpotomy procedure is indicated when caries removal results in pulp exposure in a primary tooth with a normal pulp or reversible pulpitis or after a traumatic pulp exposure. 0000040144 00000 n The tooth then is restored with a restoration that seals the tooth from microleakage.

Clin Oral Investig 2008;12(1):91-6. This guideline is intended to recommend the best currently-available clinical care for pulp treatment, but the AAPD encourages additional research for consistently successful and predictable techniques using biologically-compatible medicaments for vital and nonvital primary and immature permanent teeth.

With the known risks of formocresol and proven alternatives with equal efficacy, formocresol use in pediatric dentistry is unwarranted.C These teeth are candidates for nonvital pulp treatment.5,6, Teeth exhibiting provoked pain of short duration relieved with over-the-counter analgesics, by brushing, or upon the removal of the stimulus and without signs or symptoms of irreversible pulpitis, have a clinical diagnosis of reversible pulpitis and are candidates for vital pulp therapy. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) intends these recommendations to aid in the diagnosis of pulp health versus pathosis and to set forth the indications, objectives, and therapeutic interventions for pulp therapy in primary and immature permanent teeth. Chacko V, Kurikose S. Human pulpal response to mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA): A histological study. Teeth with immature roots should show continued root development and apexogenesis.

It is sometimes called a baby tooth root canal, but it's not really a root canal and it can be done is some cases in permanent teeth. The coronal pulp is amputated, and the remaining vital radicular pulp tissue surface is … Recommendations on pulp therapy for primary and immature permanent teeth were developed by the Clinical Affairs Committee – Pulp Therapy Subcommittee and adopted in 1991. El-Meligy OAS, Avery DR. The partial pulpotomy for carious exposures is a procedure in which the inflamed pulp tissue beneath an exposure is removed to a depth of one to three millimeters or deeper to reach healthy pulp tissue. The minimally invasive endodontic techniques of vital pulp therapy (VPT) are based on improved understanding of the capacity of pulp (nerve) tissues to heal and regenerate plus the availability of advanced endodontic materials. Apexification, reimplantation of avulsions, and placement of prefabricated post and cores are not indicated for primary teeth. Bjørndal L, Larsen T. Changes in the cultivable flora in deep carious lesions following a stepwise excavation procedure. Following debridement, disinfection, and shaping of the root canal system, obturation of the entire root canal is accomplished with a biologically-acceptable, nonresorbable filling material.

Qudeimat MA, Barrieshi-Nusair KM, Owais AI. The root canals are debrided and shaped with hand or rotary files.21  Since instrumentation and irrigation with an inert solution alone cannot adequately reduce the microbial population in a root canal system, disinfection with irrigants such as one percent sodium hypochlorite and/or chlorhexidine is an important step in assuring optimal bacterial decontamination of the canals.70-72  Because it is a potent tissue irritant, sodium hypochlorite must not be extruded beyond the apex.73  After the canals are dried, a resorbable material such as nonreinforced zinc/oxide eugenol,5,74 iodoform-based paste (KRI),75 or a combination paste of iodoform and calcium hydroxide (Vitapex®, Endoflax®) 76-78 is used to fill the canals.

If calcium hydroxide is used, a glass ionomer or reinforced zinc oxide/eugenol material should be placed over it to provide a seal against microleakage since calcium hydroxide has a high solubility, poor seal, and low compressive strength.28-31  The use of glass ionomer cements or reinforced zinc oxide/eugenol restorative materials has the additional advantage of inhibitory activity against cariogenic bacteria.32,33  The tooth then is restored with a material that seals the tooth from microleakage.

Patients in this group will receive a pulpotomy. For any tooth that has undergone pulpal therapy, clinical signs and/or symptoms may prompt a clinician to select a more frequent periodicity of reassessment. There should be no adverse posttreatment signs or symptoms such as prolonged sensitivity, pain, or swelling, and there should be evidence of resolution of pretreatment pathology with no further breakdown of periradicular supporting tissues clinically or radiographically. Formation of the apex in vital, young, permanent teeth can be accomplished by implementing the appropriate vital pulp therapy described in this section (i.e., indirect pulp treatment, direct pulp capping, partial pulpotomy for carious exposures and traumatic exposures). 0000003284 00000 n Direct pulp capping with mineral trioxide aggregate: An observational study. It is recommended that all pulp therapy be performed with rubber-dam or other equally effective isolation to minimize bacterial contamination of the treatment site. In a more descriptive definition, a pulpotomy is done when the cavity has gone so deep that it is close to or touching the nerve of the tooth. Indirect pulp treatment is a procedure performed in a tooth with a deep carious lesion approximating the pulp but without signs or symptoms of pulp degeneration.1  The caries surrounding the pulp is left in place to avoid pulp exposure and is covered with a biocompatible material.19  A radiopaque liner such as a dentin bonding agent,20 resin modified glass ionomer,21,22 calcium hydroxide,23,24 zinc oxide/eugenol,24 or glass ionomer cement7,9,25-27 is placed over the remaining carious dentin to stimulate healing and repair.
