Current pulp therapy options for primary teeth.
Pulp therapy options in the primary dentition remain an area of debate and research. Current treatment options offer the ability to maintain many primary molars and prevent damage to the developing dentition. Proper diagnosis of the status of the primary pulp is essential to help the clinician chose the therapy that is most indicated for each child. It is important for clinicians to be familiar with current trends in this critical area of children's dentistry.
