Pulpotomy

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.
