Pulpotomy: Techniques and Outcomes

This book focuses on the common procedure of pulpotomy in primary molars with extensive caries but no radicular pathology. It details the procedure of covering pulp stumps with pulp-capping agents to promote healing or fix underlying tissue. Throughout history, various pulpotomy agents have been utilized, including formaldehyde-based materials, electrosurgery, lasers, glutaraldehyde, haemostatic medicaments, zinc oxide eugenol, bone morphogenic protein (BMP), collagen, and calcium-inducing dentine bridge materials. This comprehensive exploration provides insights into the evolution and efficacy of pulpotomy techniques, offering valuable guidance to dental professionals for optimal patient care.
