A

When all the decay is gone and there is no exposure

21
Q

When do you place an indirect pulp cap?

A

Leave some of the decay and seal it, with the intention to come back and fix it after tertiary dentin has formed

22
Q

A

On a non-vital tooth

23
Q

When would you perfrom an apexification?

A

Non vital, permanent immature tooth

24

26
Q

What’s the website for trauma of teeth?

A

Dental Trauma guide.org

27
Q

  • Must allow for movement or risk of akylosis
31
Q

2 weeks - no alveolus

4 weeks if alveolus is involved

32

A

Cvek Pulpotomy

34
Q

What’s the goal for doing Cvek pulpotomies?

A

Apexogenesis - to keep the permanent tooth

35
Q

What are some features of childs mandible vs adults?

A
