Pulp capping of immature teeth with anatomic anomalies.
This case report describes the treatment of two immature teeth with anatomic anomalies which created plaque retentive areas and in one case occlusal disturbance. Periodontal and pulpal consequences were inevitable. Reshaping of the teeth was carried out which as expected led to exposure of the pulp in both instances. Pulp capping was then performed under aseptic conditions. The vitality of the teeth was maintained and continued root development was observed.
