Q

Direct pulp capping indications?

A

There must be a minimum or inexistent inflammation
of the pulp (It is indicated small mechanical or traumatic
exposure).

  • Clinically and radiographicaly asymptomatic tooth.
    • Mechanical exposure caused by iatrogenia (excessive cavity
    preparation)
    • Small pulp exposure by caries surrounded by healthy dentin
    • Traumatic lesion

Q

Direct pulp capping objective?

A

Induce the sound young pulp to form a bridge of
dentin, trying to cover the site of exposure and conserve the
pulpar vitality.

Q

Apexogenesis indications and requirements to preform it? (4)

A

• Size of exposure ( > 1 mm )
• Time of exposure( > 24 horas)
• Inflammation of the cameral pulp
• Healthy radicular pulp (no signs of inflammation, incuding
correct hemostasia of the radicular stumps)

Q

Apexogenesis materials?

A
  • Calcium hydroxide
  • MTA may be used on those case where we know the radicular pulp is
    completely healthy, because once the MTA is hard, it is very hard to remove it on a posterior sesion.

Q

Apexogenesis step 5?

A

Removal of the cameral pulp (With round low-speed bur or sharp excavator, careful not to extirpate the pulp)

30
Q

Apexogenesis step 6?

A

Cleansing of the cavity with saline solution

31
Q

Apexogenesis step 7?

A

Hemostasia with cotton pellets

32
Q

Apexogenesis step 8?

A

Placement of calcium hydroxide on the pulp chamber floor

33
Q

Apexogenesis step 9?

A

Obturation of the pulp chamber with ZOE

34
Q

Apexogenesis step 10?

A

Final restoration with composite or preformed crown

35
Q

Apexogenesis radiographics follow up?

A

The ápex must close and there must be a dentin bridge at the pulp chamber floor (entrance of the root canals)

36
Q

Apexogenesis check pulpotomy?

A
  • Partial pulpotomy On teeth with pulp exposure due to trauma we may do a partial pulpotomy:
    • We only remove the swollen cameral pulp (1-3mm) and achieve hemostasia after irrigation with sodium
    hypoclorite or clorhexidine.
    • We will place a layer of calium hydroxide or MTA on top of the pulp stump.
    • On top of the MTA or calcium hydroxide we place glass ionomer and a composite.
    • Make follow-ups to chek there is a physiological apical closure.
37
Q

Apexification definition?

A

Removal of all of the radicular pulp to stimulate with

biocompatible materials the closure of the foramen.

38
Q

Apexification indications? (2)

A
  • Necrotic pulp

* Irreversible pulpitis

39
Q

Apexification objectives? (2)

* Closure of the apex

40
Q
