The best sealing agents seem to be MTA or glass ionomer. Introduction: A stainless steel crown is then used to restore the tooth. cohenca@u.washington.edu Vital pulp therapy is performed to preserve the health status of … This randomized clinical trial aimed to evaluate and compare clinical and radiographic success of 4 VPTs (indirect pulp capping [IPC], direct pulp capping [DPC], miniature pulpotomy [MP], and full pulpotomy [FP]) using calcium-enriched mixture cement for deep caries management of mature permanent molars including teeth with clinical signs of irreversible pulpitis and the presence of apical periodontitis. Remove soft leathery caries affected tooth structure until dentin consistency changes or pulp exposure is imminent. Embryologically, histologically, and functionally, the dentin and the pulp are the same and are considered together, which is why they are also referred to as the pulp-dentin complex. This should be done before the procedure via radiographic assessment or by direct examination of pulp and its color, texture, and bleeding during the procedure. A good rule of thumb limits the diameter of the exposure site to less than 1.5 mm. The full spectrum of signals responsible for the induction apoptosis in the cells by HEMA and TEGDMA is not established yet, but it involves several different pathways. Some of the more common restorative materials currently used are resin based. J Int Soc Prev Community Dent. Studies have reported this material to have similar cytotoxicity levels as MTA De-Deus and colleagues found that BA was as biocompatible as MTA and another study reported that BA up-regulated the gene expression of collagen 1, osteocalcin, and osteopontin in osteoblasts and differentiation of human periodontal ligament fibroblasts compared with MTA. Generally, sodium hypochlorite has not been used to clean the pulp canals of primary teeth. If the caries does progress to the pulp, it leads to inflammation, which is caused by several proinflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin (IL)-1β and tumor necrosis factor α, and chemokines, which cause cell death, increased vascular permeability, and an increase in inflammatory cells into the area along with production of acute phase proteins. TYPES OF VITAL PULP THERAPY • Indirect Pulp Capping • Direct Pulp Capping • Pulpotomy • Apexification 4. No history of spontaneous, lingering, or severe pain, No extensive restoration or full crown requirements, History of spontaneous pain or signs of irreversible pulpitis, Clinical or radiographic evidence of pulpal or periradicular pathosis, Tooth requires extensive restoration or full crown. In cases of persistent bleeding, partial pulpotomy might be indicated. The tooth itself, however, is the best space maintainer, and space loss in the primary molar area is a significant long-term issue for patients. Cases of permanent tooth mean long-term preservation of the tooth in a healthy state in the mouth. BA has also been shown have antifungal and antibacterial activity. Doumani MD, Arnous WA, Alsafadi MF, Alnazer HA, Alanazi SM, Alotaibi KS, Al-Ammari AI. 2020 Jun 30;2020:5853412. doi: 10.1155/2020/5853412. Some molecules, such as TGF-β1, specifically interact with decorin/biglycan in dentine. HHS The literature and standard of care is to use one of these agents (not discussed in this article because of the length limitations); however, there seems to be a directional change toward sealing the orifices completely as the primary objective. As discussed previously, there are various materials that have been tried and tested for pulp capping procedures. HEMA-induced apoptosis has been linked to the decrease in intracellular glutathione levels and the production of reactive oxygen species in the cells. Vital pulp therapy with pulp capping. The first part of this article provides insight into the basic biology of the dental pulp, the mechanisms involved in inflammation, and the reactions of the pulp to various dental materials at the cellular and molecular level whereas the second part deals with the clinical aspects of treatment of the primary and permanent dentition. Pre- and intraoperative data including vitality test results, pulpal/periapical status, and exposure type/location were recorded. This provides the pulp a low-compliance environment and receives its blood supply from the blood vessels that traverse through the apical foramen. This article reviews the rudiments of pulp therapy for children. Inflammation is a tightly regulated process and its main function is to eliminate pathogens and remove damaged tissue with the aim of restoring tissue homeostasis. Random allocation was disregarded when visible pulp exposures did not happen after complete caries removal and the tooth was transferred to the IPC arm. In addition to maintaining the tooth, this option will ease and make a band and loop from permanent molar to primary first molar well tolerated (compared with the distal shoe appliance). Vital pulp therapy encompasses apexogenesis, pulpotomy, pulpal debridement, and direct and indirect pulp capping. It is recommended that practitioners gather additional information in each of the referenced areas before engaging in pulp therapy for children. The cause of apical periodontitis is toxic metabolites and byproducts released from microorganisms within the canal and diffused into periapical tissues, eliciting inflammatory responses and bone resorption. The odontoblasts are particularly important because they are responsible for dentinogenesis both during tooth development and in the mature tooth. With the development of more biocompatible materials with high sealing properties, these teeth might have a better outcome with direct pulp therapy. Cohenca N(1), Paranjpe A, Berg J. Other studies have shown that MTA induced cells to secrete IL-8 and IL-1β. Another study, by Matsuzaka and colleagues, demonstrated that expression of core binding factor alpha-1 subunit and dentin sialoprotein was higher in the younger pulp whereas the adult pulp demonstrated higher levels of vascular endothelial growth factor and heat shock protein 27. Hence, this discussion has 2 parts: first, the materials that are placed in direct contact with the pulp, and second, restorative materials placed in the tooth after excavation of caries. Vital pulp therapy for children is simple. Aeinehchi and colleagues compared the use of MTA and calcium hydroxide in direct pulp capping cases using 11 pairs of third molars (patients 20–25 years old) with pulps mechanically exposed and capped with either MTA or calcium hydroxide, covered with zinc oxide–eugenol, and restored with amalgam. 2002 Apr;28(1):29-37. doi: 10.1111/j.1747-4477.2002.tb00364.x. Friedlander LT, Coates D, Seymour G, Cullinan M, Rich AM. Therefore, preservation and treatment of the vital pulp are critical for the prevention of apical periodontitis. Cell-rich zone: lies subadjacent to the cell-poor zone. The radicular orifices are assessed to determine that bleeding can be controlled only by direct pressure with a damp cotton piece for a minute or 2. When considering the capping material, current evidence in the literature has consistently demonstrated a better outcome when using MTA. From a clinical perspective, the control of the hemorrhage is critical to determine the level of pulp inflammation. Long-term outcomes of pulpotomy in permanent teeth with irreversible pulpitis: A multi-center randomized controlled trial. In this section, we will discuss the possibility of pulp regeneration therapy for non-vital teeth. Keywords: The pulpal and periapical status as well as pulpal exposure type/location had no effect on treatment outcomes. Studies have previously shown that HEMA induces apoptosis in different cell types and also in dental pulp stem cells and in odontoblast-like cells. Conversely, if the pulp is vital, there should be few or no bacteria present in the root pulp space and thus the disease (apical periodontitis) should not be present. Although the use of these materials is aesthetically appealing in patients, they carry the risk of local and systemic adverse effects. Results: The panel was unable to make a recommendation on superiority of any particular type of vital pulp therapy owing to lack of studies directly comparing these interventions. MTA can be considered as an effective material for vital pulp therapy, with the goal of maturogenesis. Place calcium hydroxide, MTAs, or BA directly over the exposure site; do not force it into the pulp. COVID-19 is an emerging, rapidly evolving situation. Irreversibly injured odontoblasts are replaced by cells that migrate from this layer. The paste is condensed into the radicular pulp chamber after careful pulp extirpation, cleaning of the canal, and irrigation with saline. In a retrospective study, Gruythuysen and colleagues examined clinically and radiographically the 3-year survival of teeth treated with indirect pulp therapy performed between 2000 and 2004. Cvek and colleagues investigated the depth of inflammatory reactions of adult monkey pulps exposed by fracture or cavity prep at different time intervals and found that inflammation extended 1.5 mm to 2 mm into the pulp at the 48-hour mark and only 0.8 mm to 2.2 mm after 1 week. The Vital Pulp Therapy of Permanent Teeth: A Dental Practitioner's Perspective from Saudi Arabia. Dentin-pulp complex regeneration therapy for non-vital teeth after pulpectomy or pulp necrosis. Learn about the types of pulp therapy, risk factors & when treatment is needed. Removal of caries may cause cessation of the inflammation but there is a continuous production of these proinflammatory cytokines, which could lead to irreversible pulpal damage followed by necrosis. For cases of open apexes, maintaining the pulp vital is essential for the development of the root and maturation of the whole tooth. Eghbal MJ, Haeri A, Shahravan A, Kazemi A, Moazami F, Mozayeni MA, Saberi E, Samiei M, Vatanpour M, Akbarzade Baghban A, Fazlyab M, Parhizkar A, Ahmadi M, Akbarian Rad N, Bijari S, Bineshmarvasti D, Davoudi P, Dehghan R, Dehghani M, Ebrahimi H, Emami N, Farajian N, Fereidooni R, Ghobadi G, Ghodrati M, Gohari A, Hashemi A, Hosseini M, Karami E, Kheirabadi N, Kozegari S, Labaf Ghasemi H, Majidi A, Malekzadeh P, Mehrabi V, Mohammadi M, Moradi Eslami L, Noghani A, Omatali N, Pourhatami N, Rahbani Nobar B, Rahmani S, Shafaq P, Soofiabadi S, Teimoori S, Vatandoost F, Asgary S. Pain Res Manag. If your child’s pulp root remains unaffected by infection or damage, the dentist will likely choose pulpotomy. Disclosing the physiology of pulp tissue for vital pulp therapy. The crown is then restored with a stainless steel crown, a composite strip crown, or a preveneered, commercially available composite-faced stainless steel crown. This review is divided into 2 parts: the first aims to illustrate the basic biology of the pulp and the effects on the pulp due to various procedures; the second focuses on the clinical aspects of treatment and the use of various dental materials during different vital pulp therapy procedures performed in the primary and permanent teeth. Other studies have demonstrated that HEMA causes increased phophorylation of extracellular-signal-regulated kinases (ERK 1 and 2) and decreased phosphorylation of phosphokinase B (p-AKT). Blinded participants (N = 302) were randomly allocated to 4 study arms. 3. Vital pulp therapy is performed to preserve the health status of the tooth and its ultimate position in the arch. There are two common types of vital pulp therapy: Indirect pulp cap and direct pulp cap: Sometimes the decay on a child’s tooth is close to or just touching the pulp. Types: Indirect pulp cap. Clinically, vital pulp therapy can be divided into two main groups: indirect pulp capping and direct pulp capping/pulpotomy (Figure 1). Vital pulp therapy (VPT) is a way of saving deciduous teeth. In our opinion, extraction is not the correct alternative treatment plan for these patients. It is a highly specialized layer for the synthesis and secretion of the organic components of the dentin and has an epithelial layer that serves as a liner for the dental pulp. 2013 Mar;17(2):431-9. doi: 10.1007/s00784-012-0712-6. The odontoblasts have odontoblastic processes that extend into the dentinal tubules and occupy most of the space of the dentinal tubules. Some studies have reported that the pulp has some physiologic feedback mechanisms to counteract inflammation and increased tissue pressure, which in turn explains why inflammation of the pulp could be long standing and could heal if appropriate measures are taken in a timely manner. 7 Many agents have been applicated for direct pulp capping treatment. MTA has demonstrated significantly greater frequency of dentin bridge formation, thicker and less porous dentin, and less pulp inflammation compared with calcium hydroxide. IL-1β has been shown to induce the synthesis of collagen, resulting in a more organized response of the pulp and assisting in the healing process. Patel and Cohenca also presented a case that demonstrates the use of MTA as a direct pulp capping material for the purpose of continued maturogenesis of the root. Further research with the new material, however, is ongoing. Therefore, after achieving hemostasis on the radicular pulp orifices, and after using a medicament (if desired), the orifices must be sealed with one of these agents. The main functions of the pulp include (1) formation of dentin and (2) nutrition to the dentin, which is avascular, protective, and reparative. Asgary S, Eghbal MJ, Ghoddusi J, Yazdani S. Clin Oral Investig. It has a higher number of fibroblasts with more in the central region of the pulp. Vital pulp therapy--a review. Caries first comes into contact with the odontoblasts. After baseline pain adjustment, pain relief was continuous with similar patterns in all treatment groups.  |  Conclusions: Clipboard, Search History, and several other advanced features are temporarily unavailable. Indirect pulp capping has been defined as a procedure in which a small amount of carious dentin is retained in deep areas of cavity preparation to avoid an exposure of the pulp. Place calcium hydroxide or glass ionomer directly over the carious region. Ultimately, the goal of treating the exposed pulp with an appropriate pulp capping material is to promote the dentinogenic potential of the pulpal cells. Wound Lavage in Studies on Vital Pulp Therapy of Permanent Teeth with Carious Exposures: A Qualitative Systematic Review. NLM When decay or tooth preparation extends into the coronal pulp, and the pulp is deemed vital (as described previously), a pulpotomy may be performed. Once a tooth is affected by caries, some form of intervention is necessary to prevent further inflammation and ultimately necrosis. Pediatric pulp therapy removes infected dental pulp from teeth roots. Caries excavation followed by placement of a restoration is necessary. Odontoblasts are considered highly specialized cells that have been shown to express Toll-like receptors (TLRs). It will exam the use of vital pulp treatment in day to day clinical practice. 1 Also known as pulp capping, this procedure is designed to keep the pulp alive, allowing it to heal itself. Remove all peripheral caries before removing the deepest caries. Vital pulp therapy is effective as long as proper assessment of the situation is made. Another study showed that MTA causes neutrophils to be recruited to the site of injury, which is important in the process of inflammation. Indications. The panel recommends use of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and formocresol in pulpotomy treatments; these are recommendations based on moderate-quality evidence at 24 months. Determining whether it’s best to perform vital pulp therapy or orthograde root canal therapy for an individual tooth is a judgment call. hstrassler@umaryland.edu PMID: 23189909 [Indexed for MEDLINE] Publication Types: Case Reports; MeSH terms. When caries has extended into the pulp, vital pulp therapy may be a good treatment option, as long as the tissue is not overly inflamed. Pulp therapy removes the decayed tissue to prevent the loss of the tooth or the spread of infection. J Conserv Dent. In this instance, the coronal and radicular pulps should be removed all the way to the apex of the tooth. Certain treatments are also used in deciduous teeth, please see 'Endodontic role in Paediatrics' lesson in the Paediatrics topic for more information. This randomized clinical trial aimed to evaluate and compare clinical and radiographic success of 4 VPTs (indirect pulp capping [IPC], direct pulp capping [DPC], miniature pulpotomy [MP], and full pulpotomy [FP]) using calcium-enriched mixture cement for deep caries management of mature permanent molars including teeth with clinical signs of irreversible pulpitis and the presence of apical periodontitis. A material that further seals, such as glass ionomer or resin-modified glass ionomer, should then be used to fill the coronal pulp chamber. Treatment selection is dependent on the extent of remaining healthy pulp tissue, and includes direct pulp capping and partial or complete pulpotomy.  |  Direct pulp capping is defined as the placement of a medicament on a pulp that has been exposed in the course of excavating the last portions of deep dental caries. If the pulp does not bleed at all or bleeds at a hemorrhagic level, it may be infected beyond the coronal pulp, and a pulpectomy may be in order. 2018 Nov 21;3(3):153-159. doi: 10.14744/eej.2018.07269. The continued deposition of dentin occurs throughout the length of the root, providing greater strength and resistance to fracture. Types: Indirect pulp cap Indications Deep carious lesion Enamel-dentine fracture with no pulpal exposure Participants were followed up for 1 year. When decay or tooth preparation extends into the pulp chamber of the primary incisor or canine, first, an assessment of the vitality of the pulp must be made. It is likely that recommendations going forward will require sealing the orifices as the main objective. 2013 Jan;23(1):56-63. doi: 10.1111/j.1365-263X.2012.01224.x. Healing of the dentin-pulp complex proceeds either by natural repair … Preoperative pain and apical periodontitis were significantly different among arms (P < .05); however, it was not the case when the IPC group was excluded. BA is white nanoparticle ceramic cement with many different applications, like MTA. Pulpotomy in caries-exposed immature permanent molars using calcium-enriched mixture cement or mineral trioxide aggregate: a randomized clinical trial. Vital pulp therapy is performed to preserve the health status of the tooth and its ultimate position in the arch. Hence, the second part of this review deals with the clinical aspects of treatment of the primary and permanent dentition. Cover the capping material with glass ionomer and restore permanently. Apexification is defined as a method of inducing a calcified barrier in a root with an open apex or the continued apical development of an incompletely formed root in teeth with necrotic pulp. 4. Accidental pulp exposure during inlay cavity preparation with mechanical instruments in an upper molar; the pulp appears vital, with no bleeding Fig. A stainless steel crown is the restoration of choice after performing a primary molar pulpotomy. Vital pulp therapy is a different kind of endodontic procedure, performed instead on teeth that have had recent pulp exposure. TLR-2 and TLR-4 have been immune-localized in human odontoblasts. The investigators concluded that the defense system in younger pulps was accomplished by calcification and in adult pulp is performed by self-defense proteins and regeneration of vessels. Disinfect the pulp wound and cavity with 2% chlorhexidine gluconate. Odontoblastic layer: the outermost stratum of cells in a healthy pulp. 2 Vital pulp therapy with new materials for primary teeth: new directions and Treatment perspectives. Recent research has shown that MTA, when placed in direct contact with the human dental pulp cells, differentiated them into odontoblast-like cells. No correlations were found between healing and size of pulp exposure, type of trauma, time frame, and root development. 8.18 Upper molar with occlusal pulp exposure: note the clear color of predentin around the pulp exposure. It is believed that activation of JNK inhibits cell growth and induces cell death. Eur Endod J. Vital pulp therapy can be used in immature and fully formed permanent teeth. Nair and colleagues also demonstrated decreased inflammation when MTA was used compared with calcium hydroxide. These procedures are performed routinely in primary and permanent teeth. Int J Paediatr Dent. da Rosa WLO(1), Piva E(1), da Silva AF(1). The pulp contains numerous cells types, which include odontoblasts, fibroblasts, macrophages, dendritic cells, lymphocytes, mast cells, and undifferentiated mesenchymal stem cells. This material has drawn much interest due to its many applications. The success of different pulp capping materials has been measured by thickness of the dentinal bridge, morphology of the dentinal bridge, intensity of pulpal inflammation, presence of odontoblasts cells, and biocompatibility. Indirect Pulp Therapy Vital pulp therapy has a high success rate if the following conditions are met: (1) the pulp is not inflamed, (2) hemorrhage is properly controlled, (3) a nontoxic capping material is applied, and (4) the capping material and restoration seal out bacteria. At the molecular level, HEMA and TEGDMA have shown to cause cell death/apoptosis in the pulp cells by a decrease in important transcription factors, such as nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) and increase in c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNK). One of the main causes of inflammation of the pulp is dental caries. 2014). NF-κB is the major transcription factor that is involved in the regulation of a variety of genes responsible for survival of the cells. In cases of a primary tooth, the length of time for expected life is measured against the expected life of the tooth in the mouth without pulp disease or pulp therapy. Vital pulp therapy (VPT) is performed in cases of trauma, caries, and restorative procedures to preserve the vital pulp tissue. Pulpotomy and pulp capping are indicated for teeth that have had a pulp exposure after trauma or injury, which may include the process of caries excavation in developing or mature teeth. Results: Odontoblastic layers appeared earlier; less hyperemia, inflammation, and necrosis were noted; and dentinal bridges were more pronounced in the MTA-treated teeth. Vital pulp therapy is performed to preserve the health status of the tooth and its ultimate position in the arch for the expected life of the tooth. If the pulp tissue is nonvital or the bleeding cannot be controlled at the level of the orifice, a pulpectomy should be performed. Another pulp capping material recently developed is mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA). MTA, BA, or calcium hydroxide is laid over the pulp stump to a thickness of 2–3 mm. Clean canal walls with moistened sterile cotton pellet. Clinical and radiographic follow-up demonstrated a vital pulp and physiologic root development in comparison with the contralateral tooth. Cell poor zone: also called the cell free zone of Weil because it is relatively free of cells. The connective tissue in this zone contains collagen fibers and ground substance. According to the American Association of Endodontists glossary, apexogenesis is defined as a vital pulp therapy procedure performed to encourage continued physiologic development and formation of the root end. 4.1. On the molecular level, MTA has been shown to induce the secretion of angiogenic factors, such as vascular endothelial growth factor, which plays an important role in healing. Other studies have reported that calcium hydroxide caused a layer of necrosis of the pulp tissue when used in pulp capping procedures. Mechanically or traumatically exposed primary and young permanent teeth, No history of spontaneous or irreversible inflamed pulp, Radiographic evidence of pulpal or periradicular pathosis, Exposures with purulent or serous exudates. The radicular pulp chamber may be filled with a resorbable paste of either zinc oxide–eugenol or, preferably, calcium hydroxide with iodoform within the paste. Copyright © 2017 American Association of Endodontists. No layer of necrosis was seen in the pulp when MTA was used for pulp capping.

This site needs JavaScript to work properly. Vital pulp therapy in cariously exposed permanent teeth and its limitations. J Clin Med. The procedure is also known as Cvek pulpotomy. The term is frequently used to describe therapy performed to encourage the continuation of this process. 4 Due to advances in science and technology, vital pulp treatment has changed over the last five years in regard to the procedures and materials used. Teeth were extracted and then histologically evaluated at 1 week and 2, 3, 4, and 6 months. Some studies have shown that the processes are limited to the inner third of the dentin and other studies have demonstrate the processes extending to the dentinoenamel junction. 2. There are two types of pulp therapy: Vital pulp therapy is when only the decayed pulp is removed and the healthy pulp tissue is preserved inside the This is accomplished by sealing the wound against bacterial infiltration, which would otherwise doom the treatment to failure. If there are signs of early external root resorption, radiolucency beyond the confines of the pulp chamber related to the tooth or other signs of disease, or inadequate tooth structure to support a restoration, the tooth may need to be extracted. Endodontics is defined as the branch of dentistry concerned with the morphology, physiology, and pathology of the human dental pulp and periradicular tissues. Epub 2012 Mar 21. It is subadjacent to the odontoblastic layer and is traversed by capillaries, unmyelinated nerve fibers, and cytoplasmic processes of fibroblasts. The entire coronal pulp is removed circumferentially with a large round bur, pulling coronally to adequately deroof the pulp chamber and to avoid leaving any ledges or pulp tissue therein. Historically many different materials have been used for these procedures, including resin-modified glass ionomer cements, tricalcium phosphates, hydrophilic resins, and calcium hydroxide. There are two major forms of vital pulp therapy. Thus, to be effective, calcium hydroxide needs to be in contact with noninflamed tissue located approximately 2 mm of pulp beneath exposure site. This randomized clinical trial aimed to evaluate and compare clinical and radiographic success of 4 VPTs (indirect pulp capping [IPC], direct pulp capping [DPC], miniature pulpotomy [MP], and full pulpotomy [FP]) using calcium-enriched mixture cement for deep caries management of mature permanent molars including teeth with clinical signs of irreversible pulpitis and the presence of apical … Vital pulp therapy is exactly what it sounds like – treating the pulp in an effort to keep it vital (alive) and leave the patient with a living, pain-free tooth. Please enable it to take advantage of the complete set of features! As with a primary anterior tooth, when there is disease beyond the confines of the tooth related to the tooth, consideration for extraction must be given. The survival rate was 96% for primary molars (mean survival time, 146 weeks) and 93% for permanent teeth (mean survival time, 178 weeks). INDIRECT PULP CAPPING • Indirect pulp capping is defined as a procedure wherein the deepest layer of the remaining affected carious dentin is covered with a layer of biocompatible material in order to prevent pulpal exposure and further trauma to pulp. 2020 Apr 1;9(4):984. doi: 10.3390/jcm9040984. Recently a new material has been introduced, BioAggregate (BA) (Innovative BioCeramix, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada). Author information: (1)Department of Restorative Dentistry, School of Dentistry, Federal University of Pelotas, Pelotas, Brazil. These procedures offer good alternatives to root canal therapy for teeth with immature or mature apices when pulp is exposed with reversible injury and without signs of inflammation, offering a more conservative approach.
