Clinical Approach for the Management of Symptomatic Pulpitis in Permanent Teeth
CE Hours: 1.0
Description: Dental caries continues to be a global problem, with root canal treatment being considered as the conventional management for teeth with inflamed pulps. The current improved understanding of the histopathology and the healing potential of the inflamed pulp, and the use of MTA and hydraulic calcium silicate-based materials, have led to a renewed interest in vital pulp therapy procedures as a minimally invasive treatment approach. This presentation will comprehensively review vital pulp therapy for teeth with deep carious lesions, in terms of treatment planning, selection criteria, clinical procedures, clinical outcomes and patients’ satisfaction.
Learning Objectives:
- Summarize the biological bases that support vital pulp therapy
- Identify the importance for integration of patient’s symptoms with intraoperative clinical findings in the decision making for management of an exposed pulp.
- Explain details of clinical procedures essential for a predictable outcome.
