VPT Flashcards
Direct pulp cap:
• MTA has a higher success rate and results in less pulpal inflammatory response and more predictable hard dentin bridge formation than CH.
• MTA appears to be a suitable replacement of CH used for direct pulp capping.

The purpose of caoh treatment in young traumatized teeth is to achieve periodontal healing and formation of an apical HT barrier, against which a permanent RF can be placed.

Systematic and meta-analysis: apical closure via caoh and MTA apical barrier technique had similar clinical success
Chala 2011
similar outcomes for both treatment modalities (REG and apexification – CH/MTA), suggesting that REPs could be considered as a first treatment option in the treatment of immature teeth with pulp necrosis.
