Pulp Cap and Pulpotomy in Pediatric Trauma Cases

Dental trauma can affect the tooth at different levels, even leading to the total loss of the tooth. When the trauma affects the dental pulp, the case should be evaluated to determine what treatment should be performed.

When the dental pulp is compromised by a lesion, a pulpectomy, pulpotomy or pulp capping can be performed. The objective of these treatments is to keep the primary tooth in the mouth.
