Dental Air Abrasion
Kinetic cavity preparation (KCP)
advantages of Dental Air Abrasion
conservative removal of tooth
minimal local anesthetic
no heat, sound, pressure or vibration
less chipping and cracking than regular dental drills
disadvantages of Dental Air Abrasion
no tactile feedback that is why it is not recommended for deep cavities.
air can cause sensitivity especially in dentin.
rather messy, so rubber dam or protective resin is applied to nearby teeth and gums to protect them.
where the remaining dentin bridge is less than 0.5-mm we do pulp capping with
Calcium hydroxide
advantages of Calcium hydroxide in pulp capping
-It has no irritating constituents
-It sets without the evolution of heat.
-It has alkaline pH.
-It counteracts the acidic medium of inflammation
-It helps to inhibit bacterial activity
MTA as pulp capping material
It has shown very successful results as a pulp capping material with thick dentin bridge formation and excellent tissue healing.
Reactionary dentin secreted when
Preparing a cavity carefully
Reparative dentin secreted when
Following injurious cavity preparation or a pulp exposure situation
what have the simplest process
