The primary objective of pulp therapy is to maintain the integrity and health of the teeth and their supporting tissues. Maintaining deciduous teeth in function until their natural exfoliation is absolutely necessary. New and reliable materials with predictable outcomes have recently become available. It is a treatment objective to maintain the vitality of the pulp of a tooth affected by caries, traumatic injury, or other causes. The current recommendation supersedes the previous pulp therapy guideline2on the vital pulp therapies in primary teeth with deep caries lesions and does not cover non-vital pulp ther- apies, pulp therapy for immature permanent teeth, or pulp therapy for primary teeth with traumatic injuries. Review Recent progress in understanding the molecular and cellular changes during tooth development and how they are mimicked during tissue repair, offers the opportunity to assess the biologic validity of the various vital pulp treatments. 0000027788 00000 n pulp Vital Primary Pulp Therapy: IPT Indirect pulp capping has been shown to have a higher success rate than pulpotomy in long term studies.
