Study Notes
Characteristics of Normal Pulp
- A normal pulp is characterized by an absence of signs and symptoms indicating inflammation or distress.
Focus of Pediatric Endodontics
- The main focus is on the treatment of dental pulp and the management of pulpal diseases in children, particularly in maintaining the health of primary and immature permanent teeth.
Definition of Reversible Pulpitis
- Reversible pulpitis is a condition where pulp inflammation is present but can be resolved, typically with appropriate treatment.
Purpose of Protective Liner in Vital Pulp Therapy
- The protective liner serves to protect the pulp from thermal and mechanical irritation, promoting healing and minimizing the risk of pulp exposure.
Goal of Pulp Therapy in Primary Teeth
- The main goal is to maintain the vitality of the pulp or to conserve the tooth until it naturally exfoliates, ensuring proper development of the permanent dentition.
Objective of Protective Liner in Tooth Preparation
- The primary objective is to provide a barrier against bacteria and irritants in deep cavities, facilitating healing and preserving pulp vitality.
Material Used for Indirect Pulp Capping (IPC)
- Calcium hydroxide is commonly used for IPC treatment as it offers increased marginal adaptation and decreased micro-leakage.
Contra-indication for Indirect Pulp Capping (IPC)
- A significant contra-indication for IPC is the presence of pulp necrosis, as the treatment is not effective in such cases.
Recommended Duration Before Re-entry for IPC Treatment
- Re-entry is generally recommended after a loss of at least 6 months to evaluate the success of the initial IPC treatment.
Disadvantage of Using Biocompatible MTA for IPC Treatment
- The primary disadvantage of using Biocompatible MTA is its higher cost compared to other materials, which may limit its accessibility for some patients.
