Q

Describe the recommended treatment for non-traumatic pulpitis with no pain or non-spontaneous pain

Q

How does CaOH, MTA and biodentine differe over post-treatment survival?

A

MTA performed significantly better than CaOH at all time points

Q

How does pulpal bleeding infleunce the outcome of pulp therapy success?

A

Therefore, ensure haemostasis prior to pulp caping and ensure no
space for bleeding below cap
If not possible to cease bleeding progress from pulp capping →
partial pulpotomy → full pulpotomy → pulpectomy (i.e. RCT)

Q

What aspect of RCT technique have the strongest evudebce for improving outcome for AP?

A

NiTi rotary > hand SS (weak)
NaOCl then EDTA, then NaOCl (open)
No need for intracanal medication if single visit is possible (strong)
Obturation with GP, cold lateral, with ZOE sealer (open)
No need for adjuncative therapy (weak)
