Course Description:
Direct pulp capping is a treatment for exposed vital pulp using a dental material such as calcium hydroxide, bonded composite resins, and mineral trioxide aggregate to facilitate both the formation of reparative dentin from odontoblasts and the maintenance of vital pulp. However, clinical outcomes of direct pulp capping involve a great deal of uncertainty regarding the survival potential of vital pulp. This course will fill in some of the gaps of the knowledge in direct pulp capping.
Educational Objectives:
By the completion of this course, each participant should be able to . . .
-
Utilize endodontic diagnosis technique into direct pulp-capping case selection
-
Describe clinical success rate of direct pulp-capping by exposure types
-
Implement evidence-based direct pulp-capping treatment and materials into the practice
