A Review on Vital Pulp Therapy in Primary Teeth

Pulp therapy in pediatric dentistry is responsible for treating the neurovascular bundle of a tooth that has suffered some trauma or an infectious process. The objective of the treatment is to maintain the primary tooth until its natural exfoliation, avoiding problems of malocclusion and dental malposition.

The success of the treatment is based on an early diagnosis and an efficient treatment. Currently we can find biocompatible materials that ensure good treatment.

Within pulp therapy we can find treatments such as pulpectomy pulpotomy and pulp coverings. The choice of each of them depends on the clinical and radiographic evaluation of the dentist.

What is the difference between apexogenesis and apexification?

It is known as an immature tooth, that tooth that has an open apex and is discovered by an X-ray. When this happens, conventional endodontic procedures are of no value.

The apex opening is usually very large in an immature tooth, and the canal walls are very thin, so appropriate treatment must be performed.

In the presence of an open apex, apexogenesis (apicoformation) or apexification can be used. Both treatments have differences that will be resolved with the video that we show below.

Hybrid nano-resin esthetic crowns in primary teeth. Case report

Currently the oral rehabilitation of children have more aesthetic alternatives, leaving behind the metal crowns that lack this benefit. The loss of one or more teeth in children is due to extensive caries processes, or due to an accident, putting the proper development of the occlusion at risk.
