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)

    • Traumatic lesion

Q

Direct pulp capping objective?

A

Induce the sound young pulp to form a bridge of

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.

26
Apexogenesis step 2?
Rubber dam isolation
27
Apexogenesis step 3?
Remove ALL the caries (starting on the walls far away from the pulp chamber and finishing on the closest wall of the pulp) and make a pulp exposure <1mm.
28
Apexogenesis step 4?
Removal of the pulp chamber roof (endo-z bur)
29
Apexogenesis step 5?
Removal of the cameral pulp (With round low-speed bur or sharp excavator, careful not to extirpate the pulp)
30
Apexogenesis step 6?
Cleansing of the cavity with saline solution
31
Apexogenesis step 7?
Hemostasia with cotton pellets
32
Apexogenesis step 8?
Placement of calcium hydroxide on the pulp chamber floor
33
Apexogenesis step 9?
Obturation of the pulp chamber with ZOE
34
Apexogenesis step 10?
Final restoration with composite or preformed crown
35
Apexogenesis radiographics follow up?
The ápex must close and there must be a dentin bridge at the pulp chamber floor (entrance of the root canals)
36
Apexogenesis check pulpotomy?
- 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
Apexification definition?
Removal of all of the radicular pulp to stimulate with | biocompatible materials the closure of the foramen.
38
Apexification indications? (2)

39
Apexification objectives? (2)
