Vital Pulp Treatment in Primary Teeth
Sponsor: University of Maryland, Baltimore
Summary
In primary teeth, decay that is near the pulp (tooth nerve)is treated with either a pulpotomy or indirect pulp treatment if the tooth is not going to be extracted A pulpotomy involves removing the top 1/2 of the pulp, placing a medication/material on the pulp, covering the remaining pulp with a cement, and the restoring the tooth. The purpose of this pilot study is to gain preliminary information regarding the success of Biodentine, MTA, and IPT in the treatment of deep decay in children's primary molars.
